1 Corinthians10:30

30 For if I by grace be a partaker , why am I evil spoken of, for that for which I give thanks? .

If I by the goodness of God, whose the Earth is, and the fulness thereof; or by the Grace of Knowledge, by which God hath given me to understand that I may do that, as to which others less knowing stumble, can eat such meat (out of the Idols Temple) as part of it hath been offered to the Idol; or with Thanksgiving partake of such▪ meat (for so [non-Latin text not transcribed] signifies Luke 6.32. Chap. 17.9.)

Why am I blasphemed, or evilly spoken of, for that which I can give God thanks? That is, I ought not to cause another to speak evil of me for using of meat, but rather than run that danger, to abstain from such meat which I could otherwise eat of, and give God thanks: For in so doing I should but abuse my liberty, and instead of giving God thanks, I should grievously offend God, not at all consulting his Glory.
