1 Corinthians 10:23

Greek/English Interlinear with Strong’s Numbers


King James Version

All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.
New King James Version

All things are lawful to me, but not all things are helpful; all things are lawful for me, but not all things edify.
New American Standard Bible

All things are lawful, but not all things are profitable. All things are lawful, but not all things edify.
New International Version

“Everything is permissible” – but not everything is beneficial. “Everything is permissible” – but not everything is constructive.
The Amplified Bible

All things are legitimate (permissible), [and we are free to do anything we please], but not all things are helpful (expedient, profitable, and wholesome). All things are legitimate, but not all things are constructive [to character] and edifying [to spiritual life].
Wuest’s Expanded Translation

All things are permissible but not all things are profitable or expedient. All things are permissible, but not all things promote growth in Christian character.
Phillips’ Modern English

As I have said before, the Christian position is this: I may do anything, but everything is not useful. Yes, I may do anything, but everything is not constructive.
Williams’ Language of the People

Everything is permissible for people, but not everything is good for them. Everything is permissible for people, but not everything builds up their personality.
