A.T. Robertson Commentary 1 Corinthians 10:30

"If I partake with thankfulness, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks?" — 1 Corinthians 10:30 (ASV)

Paul carries on the supposed objective to his principle of love. Why incur the risk of being evil spoken of (βλασφημουμα) for the sake of maintaining one's liberty? Is it worth it? See Ro 14:6 where Paul justifies the conscience of one who eats the meat and of one who does not. Saying grace over food that one should not eat seems inconsistent. We have this very word blaspheme in English.
