Connecting Statement:
In the rest of this chapter, Paul reminds the Corinthians that though they are free, they must care about others and not do things that could lead others to sin.
Everything is lawful
Possible meanings are 1) Paul is saying what some Corinthians might be thinking. Alternate translation: "People say, 'I am allowed to do anything'" or 2) Paul is saying what he thinks is true. Alternate translation: "I am allowed to do anything." This should be translated as in 1 Corinthians 6:12.
not everything is profitable
"some things are not profitable" or "some things do not help people"
not everything builds people up
Building people up represents helping them become mature and strong in their faith. See how you translated "builds up" in 1 Corinthians 8:1. Alternate translation: "not everything strengthens people" or "some things do not strengthen people" (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor)
