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. | 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. |
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. | “All things are lawful,” but not all things are beneficial. “All things are lawful,” but not all things build up. |

Don’t be concerned for your own good but for the good of others. | Do not seek your own advantage, but that of the other. |
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 everything for the glory of God. |
