31 Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or (A)whatever you do, do all things for the glory of God. 32 (B)Do not offend Jews or Greeks, or (C)the church of God; 33 just as I also (D)please everyone in all things, (E)not seeking my own benefit but the benefit of the many, (F)so that they may be saved.

Christian Order

11 (G)Be imitators of me, just as I also am of Christ.

31 So, whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do everything for the glory of God.(A) 32 Give no offense to Jews or to Greeks or to the church of God,(B) 33 just as I try to please everyone in everything I do, not seeking my own advantage but that of many, so that they may be saved.(C) 11 Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ.(D)

31 Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatsoever else you do, do all to the glory of God.

32 Be without offence to the Jews, and to the Gentiles, and to the church of God:

33 As I also in all things please all men, not seeking that which is profitable to myself, but to many, that may be saved.

11 Be ye followers of me, as I also am of Christ.

31-33 So eat your meals heartily, not worrying about what others say about you—you’re eating to God’s glory, after all, not to please them. As a matter of fact, do everything that way, heartily and freely to God’s glory. At the same time, don’t be callous in your exercise of freedom, thoughtlessly stepping on the toes of those who aren’t as free as you are. I try my best to be considerate of everyone’s feelings in all these matters; I hope you will be, too.

To Honor God

11 1-2 It pleases me that you continue to remember and honor me by keeping up the traditions of the faith I taught you. All actual authority stems from Christ.
