Everything, no matter how mundane or seemingly insignificant, should be done to show forth the beauty, character, and worth of God (his “glory”). Even in activities like eating (or not eating) a meal—or walking in a park, or filing papers, or changing diapers, or mending bodies. Paul shows the Corinthians why this is so and how they can do this: eating with thanksgiving to embrace God’s goodness in all of life, or abstaining from a meal to reflect God’s neighbor-centered love.
