1 Cor. 6:12 All things are lawful for me, but all things are not helpful. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.

1 Corinthians chapter 10:verse 23: "Everything is permissible, but not everything is advantageous" (The Bible in Living English - translated by Steven T. Byington)
"All things are lawful; but not all things are advantageous" New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures
The apostle Paul obviously did not mean that it is lawful to do things that God's Word expressly condemns. Compared to the 600 plus laws given to ancient Israel, there are comparatively few explicit commands regulating Christian life. Hence, many matters are left to the individual's godly trained conscience directed by the divinely inspired guide--the Holy Bible.

1 Corinthians 6:12a
"Everything is permissible for me"—but not everything is beneficial.
Edit: Why the thumbs down? I posted a bible verse that snwers verbatim what was asked for. What the hell?

Just remember that whatever you do in word or deed do it for the Glory of God...!!! Get to know God...!!! In the good old days of Israel you could be sold for somebody's pleasure! It is in God's Law!
Exodus 21:7-8 (NIV) "If a MAN* (*God fearing man) SELLS his DAUGHTER (i.e. NOT HIS SON but his daughter!!!) as a SLAVE, SHE is not to go free as male slaves do (Biblical sex discrimination 101). If she does not please the master who has selected her for himself (for whatever kinky pleasure), he must let her be redeemed. He has no right to sell her to foreigners, because he has broken faith with her.
Can you imagine her fate if her God fearing daddy doesn't want her back?
1 Peter 2:18 (NIV) Slaves, submit yourselves to your masters with all respect, not only to those who are good and considerate, but also to those who are harsh.
The Bible as a whole is very much PRO-slavery!
Luke 16:17 (NIV) (Jesus Christ said) It is easier for heaven and earth to disappear than for the least stroke of a pen to drop out of the Law.
