First letter to the Corinthians 10:23

[Contemporary readers sometimes find it difficult to grasp the chiastic patterns in this letter. We are used to reading from top to bottom, with the conclusion at the end. However, if you read "from the outside in," it is easier to follow Paul's train of thought. Headings and insertions attempt to make it easier to see the text in this way:
Verses 23-24: General principles – think of others.
Verses 32-33: General principles – do not cause offense.
Verses 25-26: Eat what is sold in the market, for it belongs to God.
Verse 31: Eat to honor God.
Verse 27: Eat what is offered if you are visiting someone who does not believe.
Verses 29b-30: Eat – you are free, give thanks and eat. Verses 28-29a: However, if someone says, "It is sacrificial meat," do not eat it out of respect for that person's conscience.]
Everything is permissible,
but not everything is beneficial.
Everything is permissible,
but not everything builds up.
