things are lawful
1 Corinthians 10:23
All things to me are lawful, but all things are not profitable; all things to me are lawful, but all things do not build up;
Romans 14:14
I have known, and am persuaded, in the Lord Jesus, that nothing [is] unclean of itself, except to him who is reckoning anything to be unclean -- to that one [it is] unclean;
are not
1 Corinthians 8:4
Concerning the eating then of the things sacrificed to idols, we have known that an idol [is] nothing in the world, and that there is no other God except one;
1 Corinthians 8:7-13
7
but not in all men [is] the knowledge, and certain with conscience of the idol, till now, as a thing sacrificed to an idol do eat [it], and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.
8
But victuals do not commend us to God, for neither if we may eat are we in advance; nor if we may not eat, are we behind;
9
but see, lest this privilege of yours may become a stumbling-block to the infirm,
10
for if any one may see thee that hast knowledge in an idol's temple reclining at meat -- shall not his conscience -- he being infirm -- be emboldened to eat the things sacrificed to idols,
11
and the brother who is infirm shall perish by thy knowledge, because of whom Christ died?
12
and thus sinning in regard to the brethren, and smiting their weak conscience -- in regard to Christ ye sin;
13
wherefore, if victuals cause my brother to stumble, I may eat no flesh -- to the age -- that my brother I may not cause to stumble.
1 Corinthians 9:12
if others do partake of the authority over you -- not we more? but we did not use this authority, but all things we bear, that we may give no hindrance to the good news of the Christ.
1 Corinthians 10:24-33
24
let no one seek his own -- but each another's.
25
Whatever in the meat-market is sold eat ye, not inquiring, because of the conscience,
26
for the Lord's [is] the earth, and its fulness;
27
and if any one of the unbelieving do call you, and ye wish to go, all that is set before you eat, nothing inquiring, because of the conscience;
28
and if any one may say to you, 'This is a thing sacrificed to an idol,' -- do not eat, because of that one who shewed [it], and of the conscience, for the Lord's [is] the earth and its fulness:
29
and conscience, I say, not of thyself, but of the other, for why [is it] that my liberty is judged by another's conscience?
30
and if I thankfully do partake, why am I evil spoken of, for that for which I give thanks?
31
Whether, then, ye eat, or drink, or do anything, do all to the glory of God;
32
become offenceless, both to Jews and Greeks, and to the assembly of God;
33
as I also in all things do please all, not seeking my own profit, but that of many -- that they may be saved.
Romans 14:15-23
15
and if through victuals thy brother is grieved, no more dost thou walk according to love; do not with thy victuals destroy that one for whom Christ died.
16
Let not, then, your good be evil spoken of,
17
for the reign of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit;
18
for he who in these things is serving the Christ, [is] acceptable to God and approved of men.
19
So, then, the things of peace may we pursue, and the things of building up one another;
20
for the sake of victuals cast not down the work of God; all things, indeed, [are] pure, but evil [is] to the man who is eating through stumbling.
21
Right [it is] not to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor to [do anything] in which thy brother doth stumble, or is made to fall, or is weak.
22
Thou hast faith! to thyself have [it] before God; happy is he who is not judging himself in what he doth approve,
23
and he who is making a difference, if he may eat, hath been condemned, because [it is] not of faith; and all that [is] not of faith is sin.
2 Thessalonians 3:9
not because we have not authority, but that ourselves a pattern we might give to you, to imitate us;
but I
1 Corinthians 9:27
but I chastise my body, and bring [it] into servitude, lest by any means, having preached to others -- I myself may become disapproved.
Romans 7:14
for we have known that the law is spiritual, and I am fleshly, sold by the sin;
Hebrews 12:15
looking diligently over lest any one be failing of the grace of God, lest any root of bitterness springing up may give trouble, and through this many may be defiled;
Hebrews 12:16
lest any one be a fornicator, or a profane person, as Esau, who in exchange for one morsel of food did sell his birthright,
Jude 1:12
These are in your love-feasts craggy rocks; feasting together with you, without fear shepherding themselves; clouds without water, by winds carried about; trees autumnal, without fruit, twice dead, rooted up;
