Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.

'whatsoever ye do' -these principles apply to other areas of moral neutrality also.

'do all to the glory of God' -'do everything to glorify God' (Beck) The same truth as "And. do all things for the sake of the gospel." (1 Corinthians 9:23) 'This is the ruling motive in the Christian's life, not just having his own way about whims and preferences.' (Robertson p. 158)

'The glory of God. not the observance of food-laws, nor the satisfaction of one's natural appetite, nor even the assertion of one's personal liberty, is the main object of Christian life and action--eating, drinking, or anything else (cf. Colossians 3:17)' (F.F. Bruce p. 101)
