1 CORINTHIANS 10:31 — KING JAMES VERSION 0
“Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.”
So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. — The overarching principle: doxa tou theou (God's glory) is the measure of all action. Every mundane act—eating, drinking—is to be performed for God's honor. This telescopes the whole discussion: freedom exists to serve God's glorification, not personal appetite.
Church Fathers on 1 Corinthians 10:31
“Whether therefore you eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.” Do you perceive how from the subject before him, he carried out the exhortation to what was general, giving us one, the most excellent of all aims, that God in all things should be glorified?
