KJV ORIGINAL

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

Close to the original. Clear modern English.

I'm talking about their conscience, not yours. Why should my freedom be limited by what someone else thinks is right or wrong?

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Your freedom shouldn't be controlled by other people's opinions, but sometimes you need to consider how your choices affect them.
