1 Corinthians 6:12 in Context — 1 Corinthians 6

10 ni les voleurs, ni les cupides, ni les ivrognes, ni les outrageux, ni les ravisseurs, n’hériteront le royaume de Dieu.

11 Et c’est là ce que vous étiez, quelques-uns de vous. Mais vous avez été lavés, mais vous avez été sanctifiés, mais vous avez été justifiés au nom du Seigneur Jésus-Christ, et par l’Esprit de notre Dieu.

12 Tout m’est permis, mais tout n’est pas utile; tout m’est permis, mais je ne me laisserai asservir par quoi que ce soit.

13 Les aliments sont pour le ventre, et le ventre pour les aliments; et Dieu détruira l’un comme les autres. Mais le corps n’est pas pour l’impudicité. Il est pour le Seigneur, et le Seigneur pour le corps.

14 Et Dieu, qui a ressuscité le Seigneur, nous ressuscitera aussi par sa puissance.
