All things are lawful for me, but not all things are helpful; all things are lawful for me, but not all things edify. 1 Corinthians 10:23

This verse is often taken out of its context in order [for some] to justify a sinful behavior or activity. I would suggest that before exercising any presumed freedom or liberty in Christ Jesus you consider your honest responses to the following three (3) questions.

1. Can I thank God for what I am about to do?
2. Will God be glorified?
3. Will I stumble another person?

Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ. 1 Corinthians 11:1
