Even in the Corinthian letters, Paul strikes a balance between telling those prone to legalism that they are saved by grace and telling those prone to license that they are constrained by love. For some examples, see the table below.

You are saved by grace 
(1 Corinthians, ESV)		You are constrained by love
(1 Corinthians, ESV)
All things are lawful. (6:12)Not all things are helpful. (6:12)
All of us possess knowledge. (8:1)Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up. (8:1)
Idol has no real existence. (8:4)Should not make my brother stumble (8:13)
Free from all (9:19)Made myself a servant to all (9:19)
