“All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are beneficial. “All things are lawful for me,” but I will not be dominated by anything. Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God, and that you are not your own?
(1 Corinthians 6:12,19)
The law says yes
but justice says no.
Rules do not rule
in the temple of the spirit.
