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. {expedient: or, profitable}

But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak. {liberty: or, power}

Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. {to...: or, to edify profitably}

Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.

We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do. {comfort: or, exhort}

But if thy brother be grieved with {thy} meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died. {charitably: Gr. according to charity}

For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.

How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.

Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual {gifts}, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church. {of spiritual gifts: Gr. of spirits}

Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: {so do}.

Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth.

Again, think ye that we excuse ourselves unto you? we speak before God in Christ: but {we do} all things, dearly beloved, for your edifying.

But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men {to} edification, and exhortation, and comfort.

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. {expedient: or, profitable}

Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do. {comfort: or, exhort}

Unto the pure all things {are} pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving {is} nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.

But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,

For every creature of God {is} good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:

But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men {to} edification, and exhortation, and comfort.

It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord. {I will come: Gr. For I will come}

Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.

Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed:

And herein I give {my} advice: for this is expedient for you, who have begun before, not only to do, but also to be forward a year ago. {forward: Gr. willing}
