1 Corinthians 6:12 Douay-Rheims

All things are lawful to me, but all things are not expedient. All things are lawful to me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.

Francis Patrick Kenrick

1796–1863 Catholic

The text may be understood of any person or any thing ; but the latter inter- pretation is preferable. The apostle intimates that in the use of things lawful in themselves, we should not suffer ourselves to be carried away by our desires, which we should regulate and control.
