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. | No testing has overtaken you that is not common to everyone. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tested beyond your strength, but with the testing he will also provide the way out so that you may be able to endure it. |
“All things are lawful,” you may say—but not all things are beneficial. All things may be lawful—but not all things are constructive. | “All things are lawful,” but not all things are beneficial. “All things are lawful,” but not all things build up. |

No one should seek his own advantage in preference to that of his neighbor. | Do not seek your own advantage, but that of the other. |
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 everything for the glory of God. |
