1 Corinthians 10:23 Made Simple

KJV ORIGINAL

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

Close to the original. Clear modern English.

✦ MADE SIMPLE

Just because I can do something doesn't mean I should. Yeah, I have the freedom to make my own choices, but not every choice is actually good for me or helps me grow.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Freedom doesn't mean doing whatever you want — it means choosing what's actually good for you.
