S – “Everything is permissible,” but not everything is beneficial. “Everything is permissible,” but not everything builds up. 24 No one is to seek his own good, but the good of the other person.
1 Corithians 10:23–24 CSB
O – Commentary:
The principle of freedom (everything is permissible; cf. 6:12) was to be regulated by love for others. Activities that are not beneficial or constructive or that do not promote the good of others (cf. 10:33) should be avoided.
“1 Corinthians,” in The Bible Knowledge Commentary: An Exposition of the Scriptures
A – Our freedom should be a catalyst for others to observe and desire. When we walk in freedom and love, it models God’s character because it embodies an attitude of “others first.”
R – Heavenly Father, we recognize that you are the one true God. Help us to walk in freedom and love today. We want to value others as you do and to be catalysts to help them grow closer to you.
