“ Everything is lawful,” but not everything is beneficial.“ Everything is lawful,” but not everything builds others up.

凡事都可行，但不都有益处。凡事都可行，但不都造就人。

“凡事都可行”，但不都有益处；“凡事都可行”，但不都造就人。

“凡事都可行”，但不都有益处；“凡事都可行”，但不都造就人。

凡事我都可以做，但并非事事都有益处；凡事我都可以行，但并非事事都造就人。

什么事情都可以作，但不是都有益处。什么事情都可以作，但不是都能造就人。

“什么事都可以做”，但不都有益处；“什么事都可以做”，但不都造就人。

凡事都可行，但不都有益處。凡事都可行，但不都造就人。

「凡事都可行」，但不都有益處；「凡事都可行」，但不都造就人。

「凡事都可行」，但不都有益處；「凡事都可行」，但不都造就人。

凡事我都可以做，但並非事事都有益處；凡事我都可以行，但並非事事都造就人。

甚麼事情都可以作，但不是都有益處。甚麼事情都可以作，但不是都能造就人。

『凡事都可行』，但不都有益；『凡事都可行』，但不都能建立人。

「什麼事都可以做」，但不都有益處；「什麼事都可以做」，但不都造就人。

物皆相宜、然不盡有益、物皆相宜、然不盡建立、

或以為無不可之物、我則謂不盡有益、或以為無不可之事、我則謂不盡成德、

物於我無不可、但非盡有益、

凡依法之事、未必有益於己，依法之事、未必有益於人也。

“ I have the right to do anything,” you say— but not everything is beneficial.“ I have the right to do anything”— but not everything is constructive.

You say,“ I have the right to do anything.” But not everything is helpful. Again you say,“ I have the right to do anything.” But not everything builds us up.

“ All things are lawful,” but not all things are helpful.“ All things are lawful,” but not all things build up.

You say,“ I am allowed to do anything”— but not everything is good for you. You say,“ I am allowed to do anything”— but not everything is beneficial.

“ Everything is permissible,” but not everything is beneficial.“ Everything is permissible,” but not everything builds up.

All things are permitted, but not all things are of benefit. All things are permitted, but not all things build people up.

All things are lawful for me, but not all things are helpful; all things are lawful for me, but not all things edify.

All things are lawful; but not all things are expedient. All things are lawful; but not all things edify.

“ Everything is permissible,” but not everything is helpful.“ Everything is permissible,” but not everything builds up.

All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.

“ All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are profitable.“ All things are lawful for me,” but not all things build up.

“ All things are lawful for me”– but not everything is beneficial.“ All things are lawful for me”– but I will not be controlled by anything.

But be careful that this liberty of yours does not become a hindrance to the weak.

You must let no unwholesome word come out of your mouth, but only what is beneficial for the building up of the one in need, that it may give grace to those who hear.

Therefore encourage one another and build up each other, just as you are in fact doing.

For you are certainly giving thanks well, but the other person is not strengthened.

For if your brother or sister is distressed because of what you eat, you are no longer walking in love. Do not destroy by your food someone for whom Christ died.

So then, let us pursue what makes for peace and for building up one another.Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. For although all things are clean, it is wrong to cause anyone to stumble by what you eat.

But we who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak, and not just please ourselves.Let each of us please his neighbor for his good to build him up.

What should you do then, brothers and sisters? When you come together, each one has a song, has a lesson, has a revelation, has a tongue, has an interpretation. Let all these things be done for the strengthening of the church.

Have you been thinking all this time that we have been defending ourselves to you? We are speaking in Christ before God, and everything we do, dear friends, is to build you up.

nor to occupy themselves with myths and interminable genealogies. Such things promote useless speculations rather than God’s redemptive plan that operates by faith.

It is the same with you. Since you are eager for manifestations of the Spirit, seek to abound in order to strengthen the church.

With regard to food sacrificed to idols, we know that“ we all have knowledge.” Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.

But the one who prophesies speaks to people for their strengthening, encouragement, and consolation.The one who speaks in a tongue builds himself up, but the one who prophesies builds up the church.I wish you all spoke in tongues, but even more that you would prophesy. The one who prophesies is greater than the one who speaks in tongues, unless he interprets so that the church may be strengthened.
