'Allowable' in the Bible

A man was there whose hand was withered. And they asked Jesus, “Is it lawful and permissible to heal on the Sabbath?”—they asked this so that they might accuse Him and bring charges into court.

How much more valuable then is a man than a sheep! So it is lawful and permissible to do good on the Sabbath.”

Give us your judgement therefore: is it allowable for us to pay a poll-tax to Caesar, or not?"

So they came to Him. "Rabbi," they said, "we know that you are a truthful man and you do not fear any one; for you do not recognize human distinctions, but teach God's way truly. Is it allowable to pay poll-tax to Caesar, or not?

This led Jesus to ask the lawyers and Pharisees, "Is it allowable to cure people on the Sabbath?"

Is it allowable to pay a tax to Caesar, or not?"

Everything is permissible for me, but not all things are beneficial. Everything is permissible for me, but I will not be enslaved by anything [and brought under its power, allowing it to control me].

Everything is allowable, but not everything is profitable. Everything is allowable, but everything does not build others up.
