The First Epistle of the Apostle Paul to the Church at Corinth
Chapter 6:12, 17, 20
12 All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not profitable. I may do all things, but I will not be brought under the power of any thing.
17 But he that is joined unto the Lord, is one spirit.
20 For ye are bought for a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit: for they are God’s.

Brethren:
Verse 12
As stated, all things, that are given unto us and created by God for are for us to use. However, not all things might be profitable to us. For instance, God created such elements as gold, but the lustful pursuit of it profits us nothing if it distracts from the seeking the things of God. Therefore, we cannot, and should not allow them to become idols to us.
Verse 17
Henceforth and from this time forward, let us be joined with Him not only in the heart, but in mind and spirit. In particular, it is suggested to be as such during our prayer or quiet time with Him.
Verse 20
Likewise, it profits us to glorify Him in all things. Through good and bad. For as it has been written, that we count all things as joy for He works all things for His glory. (James 1:1-1; Ephesians 1:10-12; 2 Timothy 4:18)
