Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

1 Corinthians 10:31

_ _ Contrast Zechariah 7:6; the picture of worldly men. The godly may “eat and drink,” and it shall be well with him (Jeremiah 22:15, Jeremiah 22:16).

_ _ to the glory of God — (Colossians 3:17; 1 Peter 4:11) — which involves our having regard to the edification of our neighbor.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 1 Corinthians 10:23-33.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

1 Corinthians 10:31

Therefore — To close the present point with a general rule, applicable not only in this, but in all cases, Whatsoever ye do — In all things whatsoever, whether of a religious or civil nature, in all the common, as well as sacred, actions of life, keep the glory of God in view, and steadily pursue in all this one end of your being, the planting or advancing the vital knowledge and love of God, first in your own soul, then in all mankind.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

1 Corinthians 10:31

(9) Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.

(9) The conclusion: we must order ourselves in such a way that we seek not ourselves, but God's glory, and so the salvation of as many as we may. In which the apostle does not thrust himself to the Corinthians (even his own flock) as an example, except so that he calls them back to Christ, to whom he himself has regard.
