All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. |
All things are lawful for me, but all things are not helpful. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. |
All things are lawful for me, but not all things are profitable. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be mastered by anything. |
“Everything is permissible for me” – but not everything is beneficial. “Everything is permissible for me” – but I will not be mastered by anything. |
Everything is permissible (allowable and lawful) for me; but not all things are helpful (good for me to do, expedient and profitable when considered with other things). Everything is lawful for me, but I will not become the slave of anything or be brought under its power. |
All [good] things are under my power of choice to be doing, but all things are not profitable. All things are under my power of choice, but I will not be brought under the power of any one of them. |
As a Christian I may do anything, but that does not mean that everything is good for me. I may do everything, but I must not be a slave of any thing. |
Everything is permissible for me, but not everything is good for me. Everything is permissible for me, but I will not become a slave to anything. |
