Understanding the surrounding verses prevents misinterpretation:

Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?

All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not. {expedient: or, profitable}

Let no man seek his own, but every man another's {wealth}.

Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, {that} eat, asking no question for conscience sake:

For the earth {is} the Lord's, and the fulness thereof.
