| No temptation has overtaken you except something common to mankind; and God is faithful, so He will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it. | No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it. |
| All things are permitted, but not all things are of benefit. All things are permitted, but not all things build people up. | “I have the right to do anything,” you say—but not everything is beneficial. “I have the right to do anything”—but not everything is constructive. |

| No one is to seek his own advantage, but rather that of his neighbor. | No one should seek their own good, but the good of others. |
| Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all things for the glory of God. | So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. |
