22. Or is it that you would move Hashem to kinah (jealousy) [DEVARIM 32:21]? We don't think we are stronger than He, do we? [DEVARIM 32:16; MELACHIM ALEF 14:22; TEHILLIM 78:58; YIRMEYAH 44:8; KOHELET 6:10; YESHAYAH 45:9]
23. "All things are lawful"? But not all things are beneficial; "All things are lawful"? But not all things edify [6:12].
24. Let no one seek his own benefit but the benefit of the other.
25. Everything being sold in a meat market eat without raising qualms of matzpun (conscience).
26. For LAHASHEM HA'ARETZ UMELOAH ("The earth is the L-rd's and the fullness thereof" TEHILLIM 24:1; 50:12; 89:11; SHEMOT 9:29; 19:5; IYOV 41:11; TEHILLIM 50:12).
27. If anyone of the Apikorosim invites you and you want to go, eat everything being set before you without raising qualms of matzpun (conscience).
28. But if anyone should say to you, 'Zeh nizbach l'elil!' ('This is sacrificed to an idol!'), do not eat out of consideration for that man who informed you and because of matzpun (conscience).
29. But I speak not about your matzpun but about the matzpun of the other man, for why is my cherut (freedom) brought into mishpat (judgment) by another's matzpun (conscience)?
30. If I partake with Birkat Hamazon (grace after meals), why am I blamed for what I give todah (thanks) for?
31. Whether, therefore, you eat or you drink or whatever you do, do all things to the kavod (glory) of Hashem. [ZECHARYAH 14:21]
32. Be without michshol both to Yehudim and to Yevanim and to the Kehillah of Hashem,
33. even as I also please Bnei Adam in all things, not seeking my own advantage but that of the many, that they may be brought to Yeshu'at Eloheinu.
