1 Corinthians 6:12-20 All things are lawful to me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me… I. IN THE ABSTRACT ALL THINGS ARE LAWFUL. Because — 1. Every creature of God is good. 2. May be used with thanksgiving. II. IN PRACTICE ALL THINGS ARE NOT EXPEDIENT. 1. It may rob us of influence, &c. 2. It may become a stumbling-block to another. III. IN GENERAL ALL THINGS MUST BE UNDER CONTROL. 1. Otherwise we become slaves. 2. Which is to degrade and imperil Christian character. (J. Lyth, D. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: 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. |
