1 Corinthians 10:30

By grace [χ α ρ ι τ ι]. Better, as Rev., in margin, with thankfulness : with an unsullied conscience, so that I can sincerely give thanks for my food. Compare Romans 14:6; 1 Timothy 4:4; 1 Timothy 4:5, Am I evil - spoken of [β λ α σ φ η μ ο υ μ α ι]. In the gospels this word, of which blaspheme is a transcript, has, as in the Septuagint, the special sense of treating the name of God with scorn. So Matthew 9:3; Matthew 26:65; John 10:36. In the epistles frequently as here, with the classical meaning of slandering or defaming.
