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. | No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it. |
“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. | “All things are lawful,” but not all things are helpful. “All things are lawful,” but not all things build up. |

No one should seek their own good, but the good of others. | Let no one seek his own good, but the good of his neighbor. |
So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. | So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. |
