23—INDULGENCE IN MEATS, 1 COR. 6:13

Please explain this verse. When will that time be that God will bring to naught "both it and them"?
Read the verse in connection with verse 12. The apostle declares that all things are lawful for him, but all things are not expedient. He declares this also,—that he will not be brought under the power of any. There are some who are under the power of appetite. Eating is the principal thing with them. As stated in Phil. 3: 19, "Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things." Those who give themselves to such a life will meet its sure end. Sowing to themselves corruption, they shall reap corruption at last. The bringing to naught will simply be the wages of sin, which is death. See Gal. 6: 7, 8: "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting."
