1 Corinthians 10:31-33. Whether, therefore, &c. To close the present point with a general rule, applicable not only in this, but in all cases, see to it that whether ye eat or drink, or whatsoever ye do In all things whatsoever, whether of a religious or civil nature, in all the common as well as sacred actions of life, keep the glory of God in view, and steadily pursue, in all, this one end of your being, the planting or advancing the vital knowledge and love of God, first in your... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 10:23-33

Consideration of fellow believers (10:23-11:1)Some things that are allowable are not helpful. If Christians think of others before they think of themselves, they will refrain from certain things in case others copy them and are weakened spiritually as a result (23-24).The Corinthians should understand that the reason why they must not join in idol feasts is that eating involves fellowship with the idol and its demons. It is not that the physical properties of the food are in any way changed.... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 10:32

Give no occasion of stumbling, either to Jews, or to Greeks, or to the church of God: even as I also please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many that they may be saved.Give no occasion of stumbling ... This is the apostolic order. If our human brethren, either in or out of the church, may be offended by any action, that action for the true Christian is proscribed and forbidden. We are not living the Christian life for the purpose of blessing ourselves,... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 1 Corinthians 10:32

1 Corinthians 10:32. Neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles— As these are both opposed to the church of God, it is reasonable to conclude, that the Apostle speaks of unconverted Jews and Greeks, and refers to the danger there might be of prejudicing them against Christianity, by the indulgencies against which he cautions them. See Doddridge, Calmet, and on the next chapter, 1 Corinthians 10:1. Inferences.—The design of the Apostle in this chapter is, to press upon Christians the great... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - 1 Corinthians 10:32

32. Give none offence—in things indifferent (1 Corinthians 8:13; Romans 14:13; 2 Corinthians 6:3); for in all essential things affecting Christian doctrine and practice, even in the smallest detail, we must not swerve from principle, whatever offense may be the result (2 Corinthians 6:3- :). Giving offense is unnecessary, if our own spirit cause it; necessary, if it be caused by the truth. read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Corinthians 10:32

Giving no offense means putting no obstacle in the path of a person be he Jew (cf. 1 Corinthians 9:20) or Gentile (cf. 1 Corinthians 9:21) so that he might come to faith in Christ. If he is already a believer, it means putting nothing in his way that would hinder his growth in Christ (cf. 1 Corinthians 9:22). It is not a matter of simply "hurting someone’s feelings."Paul regarded these three groups as equal in this verse. Therefore he was probably thinking of three religious groups rather than... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 10:1-33

(b) Food offered to Idols(iii) Historical Illustrations and Practical AdviceSt. Paul has been speaking of the need of earnestness and self-discipline, and the danger of failure; he now holds out the fate of the Israelites as a warning against self-confidence. The Corinthians were tempted to the very same sins for which Israel suffered.All of the Israelites received great blessings from God, types of the sacramental privileges Christians enjoy, yet most of them perished in the wilderness because... read more

Charles John Ellicott

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 1 Corinthians 10:32

(32) Give none offence.—A practical test of whether any course of conduct is to the glory of God. If it cause any human being to offend then it is not to God’s glory. Heretofore St. Paul had spoken only of the edification of the Christian Church, and the avoidance of any offence to a Christian brother. Here the sphere of moral obligation is enlarged. Jew and Greek, as well as the Christian Church, are to be objects of our Christian solicitude. read more
