'Profitable' in the Bible

and that I never shrank from declaring to you anything that was profitable, or from teaching you in public and in your homes,

Everything is allowable to me, but not everything is profitable. Everything is allowable to me, but to nothing will I become a slave.

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

I am compelled to boast. It is not a profitable employment, but I will proceed to visions and revelations granted me by the Lord.
