30 Y si yo con agradecimiento participo, ¿por qué he de ser blasfemado por lo que doy gracias?

1 Corintios 10:30 Meaning and Commentary

1 Corinthians 10:30

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? wherefore upon the whole it is best to deny one's self in such a case, rather than risk one's character, the glory of God, and the honour of religion.

1 Corintios 10:30 In-Context

28 Mas si alguien os dijere: Esto fué sacrificado á los ídolos: no lo comáis, por causa de aquel que lo declaró, y por causa de la conciencia: porque del Señor es la tierra y lo que la hinche.

29 La conciencia, digo, no tuya, sino del otro. Pues ¿por qué ha de ser juzgada mi libertad por otra conciencia?

30 Y si yo con agradecimiento participo, ¿por qué he de ser blasfemado por lo que doy gracias?

31 Si pues coméis, ó bebéis, ó hacéis otra cosa, haced lo todo á gloria de Dios.

32 Sed sin ofensa á Judíos, y á Gentiles, y á la iglesia de Dios;
