‏ 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.
