No trial has confronted you except what a person can stand. God is faithful, and he will not allow you to be tried beyond your strength. But together with the trial he will also provide a way out and the strength to bear it. | The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure. |
“All things are lawful,” you may say—but not all things are beneficial. All things may be lawful—but not all things are constructive. | You say, “I am allowed to do anything”—but not everything is good for you. You say, “I am allowed to do anything”—but not everything is beneficial. |

No one should seek his own advantage in preference to that of his neighbor. | Don’t be concerned for your own good but for the good of others. |
Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do everything for the glory of God. | So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. |
