Ich habe zwar alles Macht; aber es frommt nicht alles. Ich habe es alles Macht; aber es bessert nicht alles.
Todo me es lícito, mas no todo conviene: todo me es lícito, mas no todo edifica.
Todo es lícito, pero no todo conviene. Todo es lícito, pero no todo edifica.
Tout est permis, mais tout n'est pas utile; tout est permis, mais tout n'édifie pas.
OGNI cosa mi è lecita, ma non ogni cosa è utile; ogni cosa mi è lecita, ma non ogni cosa edifica.
Todas as coisas me são lícitas, mas nem todas as coisas convêm; todas as coisas me são lícitas, mas nem todas as coisas edificam.
「凡事都可行」,但不都有益處。「凡事都可行」,但不都造就人。
