1 Corinthians 10:32, Give None Offence
1 Corinthians 10:32 (KJV) 32 Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God:
The word “offence” comes from the root verb “to strike at, to trip”. Here, a negative is expressed – Give none offence. Counsel to inculcate such a habit or way of life that does not stumble others, but look to bless others, seek their well-being and welfare is the thrust of this thought. This offence is measured by a God-given cultivated and heightened conscience, that is built strongly upon the foundation of Scripture.
And this demeanour of life is toward all men as summarised by the Jews which is Israel, the Gentiles which describes the unbelieving and finally believers in the church of God.
In other words, do good and do no harm to others. Amen.
