1 Corinthians 6:12

12“I have the right to do anything,” you say—but not everything is beneficial. “I have the right to do anything”—but I will not be mastered by anything.

12All things are permitted for me, but not all things are of benefit. All things are permitted for me, but I will not be mastered by anything.

12All 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.

12Everything is permissible for me, but not all things are beneficial. Everything is permissible for me, but I will not be enslaved by anything [and brought under its power, allowing it to control me].

12“Everything is permissible for me,” but not everything is beneficial. “Everything is permissible for me,” but I will not be mastered by anything.

12Some of you say, “I have the right to do anything.” But not everything is helpful. Again some of you say, “I have the right to do anything.” But I will not be controlled by anything.
