1 Corinthians 10:30-31

30. For—The oldest manuscripts omit "For."

by grace—rather, "thankfully" [ALFORD].

I . . . be partaker—I partake of the food set before me.

evil spoken of—by him who does not use his liberty, but will eat nothing without scrupulosity and questioning whence the meat comes.

give thanks—which consecrates all the Christian's acts (Ro 14:6; 1Ti 4:3, 4).

31. Contrast Zec 7:6; the picture of worldly men. The godly may "eat and drink," and it shall be well with him (Jer 22:15, 16).

to the glory of God— (Col 3:17; 1Pe 4:11) —which involves our having regard to the edification of our neighbor.
