1 Corinthians 10:22-24 Permissible But Not Good 23 May 2024

1Co 10:22 Do we really want to arouse the Lord's jealousy;
are we stronger than he is?
23 'Everything is permissible';
maybe so, but not everything does good.
True, everything is permissible,
but not everything builds people up.
24 Nobody should be looking for selfish advantage,
but everybody for someone else's.

Admittedly, I often use my talents for selfish advantage. It is permissible.
