So whether you eat or drink This phrase emphasizes the mundane and routine aspects of life, such as eating and drinking. In the Greek, "εἴτε" (eite) is used for "whether," indicating a choice or condition. The context here is significant because Paul is addressing the Corinthian church, which was dealing with issues related to food offered to idols. Historically, Corinth was a city with diverse religious practices, and Christians were often faced with the dilemma of participating in meals that might have religious connotations. Paul is teaching that even in these everyday actions, believers should be mindful of their witness and the impact on their faith community. or whatever you do do it all to the glory of God Persons / Places / Events 1.

Witness Through Actions Your lifestyle should be a testimony to others, drawing them to the truth of the Gospel through your example. Holistic Worship Worship is not confined to church services but is a holistic lifestyle that encompasses all aspects of life.(31) Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do.--These words embrace all life. The definite acts of eating and drinking are mentioned expressly as they are the subject immediately under consideration. They are, however, to be regulated by the same principle which guides all true life. The modern idea of some acts being religious and some secular is neither here nor elsewhere recognised by St. Paul. No act of life is in itself either religious or secular. The quality of each act depends on the spirit which guides it, and the motive from which it springs. The commonest thing may be done in a high Christian spirit. The greatest deed may spring from a low and selfish motive. A religious act done in a secular spirit is secular. A secular thing done in a religious spirit is religious. This is "the great first principle" of Christian life.Verse 31. - All. There is much grandeur in the sweeping universality of the rule which implies that all life, and every act of life, may be consecrated by holy motives. To the glory of God. Not to the glorification either of your own breadth of mind or your over-scrupulosity of conscience, but "that God in all things may be glorified" (1 Peter 4:11). Parallel Commentaries ...
