1 Corinthians 6:12-14

Expanded Bible

Use Your Bodies for God’s Glory

¹² “·I am allowed to do all things [^LAll things are lawful/permissible for me; ^Cprobably a slogan the Corinthians were using; see also 7:1; 8:1, 4; 10:23],” but not all things are ·good for me to do [profitable; beneficial]. “·I am allowed to do all things [^LAll things are lawful/permissible for me],” but I will not let anything make me its slave. ¹³ “Food is for the stomach, and the stomach for food, but God will ·destroy [do away with] them both [^Cprobably another Corinthian slogan (v. 12), meaning only the spirit matters, not what we do with our physical bodies; Paul disagrees].” The body is not for sexual sin but for the Lord, and the Lord is for the body. ¹⁴ By his power God has raised the Lord from the dead and will also raise us from the dead.
