Expedient

Nor consider that it is Expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.

Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is Expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

• Caiaphas

Now Caiaphas was he, which gave counsel to the Jews, that it was Expedient that one man should die for the people.

All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not Expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.

All things are lawful for me, but all things are not Expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.

And herein I give my advice: for this is Expedient for you, who have begun before, not only to do, but also to be forward a year ago.

• Paul
• PARADISE

It is not Expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord. I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven. And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
