1 Corinthians 6:12

---

← 1 Corinthians 6:11	1 Corinthians 6:12 (KJV)	1 Corinthians 6:13 →
And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.	All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.	Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body [is] not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.
