1 Corinthians 10:31-33
Summary for 1Cor 10:31-33: 10:31-33 a Paul concludes his discussion by summarizing the two principles that are to guide Christian behavior in issues like this: (1) Believers are to do everything for the glory of God (see Col 3:17 b; 1 Pet 4:11 c); (2) believers are not to give offense and should avoid doing anything that would harm another person’s Christian faith (cp. 1 Cor 8:9 d, 13 e; 1 Jn 2:10 f). Christians’ behavior is to be guided by what is best for others rather than by personal privilege (cp. Rom 14:13-15 g, 19-21 h; 15:1-2 i). These two basic principles lie at the heart of Paul’s advice on practical Christian living in this letter.
