Verse 31
What glorifies God? Consideration for the consciences of other people and promotion of their wellbeing does. This contrasts with the observance of distinctions between foods, the satisfaction of one’s personal preferences, and insistence on one’s own rights. What glorifies God is what puts His preferences, plans, and program first (cf. Colossians 3:17).
". . . God’s own glory is the ultimate foundation of Pauline ethics (1 Corinthians 10:31)." [Note: Idem, "Toward a . . .," p. 40.]
