1 Corinthians 10:31

Verse 31

31. Therefore As a concluding rule from the whole of 1 Corinthians 10:23-30.

Eat, or drink At feasts or elsewhere.

Glory of God As a servant of God, willing ever to bring honour to his law and name.

This does not require that in every motion or deed we make God’s glory a distinct object of thought. It requires that we should plan and order our whole life in accordance with God’s law, and with the gospel of his Son. This supreme purpose should control the whole scheme, and be so carried out that our life, in whole and in all its parts, should be a lesson to men, inspiring them to glorify our Father which is in heaven.
