If. partake with thankfulness, why am. evil spoken of for that for which. give thanks?

'partake with thankfulness' -'If. give thanks for what. eat' (Beck) (1 Timothy 4:4)

'why am. evil spoken of' -'means more than "to criticize"; it always refers to slanderous language.' (Lenski p. 424) 'why am. called. sinner' (Con)

Again, Paul may be arguing, 'If this is what results when. eat under these circumstances, is it worth it?'
