Ch. 1 Corinthians 11:1. Practical directions on the subject of Meats offered in Sacrifice

23. All things are lawful for me A repetition of the words in ch. 1 Corinthians 6:12, with a more emphatic enunciation of the doctrine that the great limiting principle of liberty is our neighbour's edification. It is scarcely possible to help seeing in this repetition a confirmation of the view that the words were originally St Paul's own, but had been used in a sense in which he did not intend them to be used.

edify not See note on ch. 1 Corinthians 8:1.
