So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. 1 Corinthians 10:31 NLT
The previous verses was dealing with the eating of food offered to idols. Paul was saying: if your conscience does not bother you about what you eat, then eat it, but for those who are bothered, do not eat. Our verse comes into play when we consider what our freedom does to others, does it disturb and hurt them?
I have some friends who will not drink alcohol. Serving alcohol at a meal they are invited to is not considering them. So, the glory of God is seen in our preference for one another, and abstinence from our freedom out of respect.
We need to lay down our freedoms not claim them as rights. Amen!
