1 Corinthians 6:12

10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.

11 And such were ^asome of you. ^bBut you were washed, but you were¹ sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.

Glorify God in Body and Spirit

12 ^aAll things are lawful for me, but all things are not¹ helpful. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of² any.

13 ^aFoods for the stomach and the stomach for foods, but God will destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for ^bsexual immorality but ^cfor the Lord, ^dand the Lord for the body.

14 And ^aGod both raised up the Lord and will also raise us up ^bby His power.

15 Do you not know that ^ayour bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a harlot? Certainly not!

16 Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body with her? For ^a“the two,” He says, “shall become one flesh.”

1 Corinthians 6:12

All things - Which are lawful for you. Are lawful for me, but all things are not always expedient - Particularly when anything would offend my weak brother; or when it would enslave my own soul. For though all things are lawful for me, yet I will not be brought under the power of any - So as to be uneasy when I abstain from it; for, if so, then I am under the power of it.
