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. | No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it. |
“All things are lawful,” but not all things are beneficial. “All things are lawful,” but not all things build up. | All things are lawful for me, but not all things are helpful; all things are lawful for me, but not all things edify. |

Do not seek your own advantage, but that of the other. | Let no one seek his own, but each one the other’s well-being. |
So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do everything for the glory of God. | Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. |
