To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law.
To those without the law I became like one without the law (though I am not outside the law of God but am under the law of Christ), to win those without the law.
All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.
“Everything is permissible,” but not everything is beneficial. “Everything is permissible,” but not everything is edifying.
