Passage
Euen as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine owne profite, but the profite of many, that they might be saued.
Euen as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine owne profite, but the profite of many, that they might be saued.
1 Corinthians 10:31 Whether therefore ye eate, or drinke, or whatsoeuer ye doe, doe all to the glory of God.
1 Corinthians 10:32 Giue none offence, neither to the Iewes, nor to the Grecians, nor to the Church of God:
1 Corinthians 10:33 Euen as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine owne profite, but the profite of many, that they might be saued.
The verse centers on "all things", "euen", "please", "seeking", "mine", "owne", and "profite". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "all things" and "euen", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.
The prior verse says "Giue none offence neither to the Iewes...", giving immediate footing for "all things" and "euen". In 1 Corinthians context, the local focus is Christ, faith, and discipleship.
A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "all things" and "euen" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
