Matthew(i)
24 Let no man seke his owne profyte: but let euerye man seke anothers wealth.
25 Whatsoeuer is solde in the market, that eate and axe no questions for consciens sake.
26 For the earth is the Lordes, and all that therin is.
27 Yf anye of them whiche beleue not, byd you to a feste, & yf ye be disposed to go, whatsoeuer is set before you, eate, axing no question for conscience sake.
28 But and yf anye man saye vnto you: this is dedicate vnto Idols, eate not of it for his sake that sheweth it, and for hurtyng of conscience (The earth is the Lordes, & al that therin is)
29 Conscience I saye, not thine but the conscience of that other. For why should my libertie be iudged of another mannes conscience?
30 For yf I take my parte wyth thankes: why am I euil spoken of for the thinge, wherfore I geue thankes.
31 Whether therfore ye eate or drynke, or whatsoeuer ye do, do al to the praise of God.
32 See that ye geue occasion of euil, neither to the Iewes, nor yet to the Gentiles, neither to the congregation of God:
33 euen as I please al men in al thinges, not sekinge myne owne profite, but the profit of manye, that they myghte be saued.
