• " All things are lawful " (v. 23) is connected with what is sold in the shambles. The apostle alludes to the custom of selling carcases for food in the common way after the animal had been offered in an idol's temple. But suppose we were sitting at a table with a person just come out from idolatry, and he said, " That joint was offered to an idol." His conscience is not free, and for his sake I do not eat it. To me it is all common meat. (“Notes on 1 Corinthians 10” by J.N. Darby)
• The apostle urges not merely exemption from evil, but positive edification. This love alone secures; because it looks not at its own things, and seeks the good of others. (“Notes on 1 Corinthians 10:23 and 11:1” by W. Kelly)

All things are lawfule, but all are not profitable; all things are lawfule, but all do not edify.

JND Translation Notes

e
"Are lawful" is the verb, of which exousia, the word translated "right" or "liberty" in ch. 8.9, and "power" in Matt. 10.1, is the noun. The word translated "liberty" in v. 29 is different, and is opposed to "bondage," as in John 8.32,36; 2 Cor. 3.17; Gal. 5.13.

All things are lawfula, but not all profit; all things are lawful, but not all edify.

"For me" is added in both clauses in some MSS., contrary to the best authorities.
