1 Corinthians 10:29

Conscience indeed I say, not merely thine own, but that of the other person.

Thomas Haweis 1795 New Testament

In The King James Version

Conscience, I say, not thine own, but of the other: for why is my liberty judged of another man’s conscience?

In Context

28But if any person say unto you, This is an idol’s sacrifice, eat not of it, for his sake who pointed it out, and for conscience sake. For the earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof.

30For why is my liberty abridged by another’s conscience? If I truly with thanksgiving am a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks?
