Commentary
For--The oldest manuscripts omit "For." by grace--rather, "thankfully" [ALFORD]. I . . . be partaker--I partake of the food set before me. evil spoken of--by him who does not use his liberty, but will eat nothing without scrupulosity and questioning whence the meat comes. give thanks--which consecrates all the Christian's acts (Rom 14:6; Ti1 4:3-4).
