1 Corinthians 10:31 - 11:1
31 Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. 32 Give no offense, either to the Jews or to the Greeks or to the church of God, 33 just as I also please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved. 11:1 Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ.

We are told to do all for God’s glory, which means not for our own pleasure or gain. This includes not being offensive in ourselves, but only in the gospel message itself which targets man’s guilt and due judgment. Therefore, we are to be seeking the good and profitable eternal welfare of others, their salvation from our sin’s punishment of God’s wrath which we all deserve. We are to do as the example Jesus, Paul, and the other Christ followers gave as recorded in the scriptures. Those who imitate Christ, in the areas they follow Him, we are to do in the same ways withe same attitude and goal of God’s glory.
