Flee Sexual Immorality

6:12 “All things are lawful for me” ¹  – but not everything is beneficial. “All things are lawful for me” – but I will not be controlled by anything.

1 Corinthians 15:27

15:27 For he has put everything in subjection under his feet. ²  But when it says “everything” has been put in subjection, it is clear that this does not include the one who put everything in subjection to him.

[6:12]  ¹ sn All things are lawful for me. In the expressions in vv. 12-13 within quotation marks, Paul cites certain slogans the Corinthians apparently used to justify their behavior. Paul agrees with the slogans in part, but corrects them to show how the Corinthians have misused these ideas.

[15:27]  ² sn A quotation from Ps 8:6.
