Then I.Some consider this as the cavil of an infidel objector, equivalent to the Epicurean maxim, {Ede, bibe, lude; post mortem nulla voluptas,} "Eat, drink, and play; there is no pleasure after death." But it may be regarded as a recommendation of a moderate use of worldly things, with a cheerful and contented mind; which may justly be considered as the greatest advantage which can be made of all below the sun: and amidst all changes, such a frame of mind, if the result of right principles, may and ought to be preserved; and it will be the recompence and solace of all our labours and toils. 2:24; 3:12,13,22; 5:18; 9:7-9; 1Ti 4:3,4; 6:17Ecclesiastes 9:7

Whether.The apostle concludes the subject by giving them a general rule, sufficient to regulate every man's conscience and practice,--that whether they eat, or drink, or whatsoever they do, to do it all with an habitual aim to the glory of God; by considering his precepts, and the propriety, expediency, appearance, and tendency of their actions. ye eat.7:34; De 12:7,12,18; Ne 8:16-18; Zec 7:5,6; Lu 11:41Col 3:17,23; 1Pe 4:11Ephesians 5:18
