1 Corinthians 10:30

John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

For if I by grace be a partaker,.... Either of Christian liberty, through the grace of God; or of the creatures God has given men to eat of through his goodness, and which are enjoyed by the saints with thankfulness:why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks?

that is, why should I expose myself to evil tongues, the blasphemies and reproaches of men, by eating things of this kind, under this circumstance, when there are so many creatures I can use without offence, and be thankful for?

or why should my liberty be reproached through an imprudent use of it, for which I have the utmost reason to be thankful?
