Clement of Alexandria, on 1Cor 10:31

Clement of Alexandria · c. A.D. 150–215
1Cor 10:31 · Douay-Rheims
“Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatsoever else you do, do all to the glory of God.”
On this verse:
“For conscience' sake, then, we are to abstain from what we ought to abstain. "Conscience, I say, not his own," for it is endued with knowledge, "but that of the other," lest he be trained badly, and by imitating in ignorance what he knows not, he become a despiser instead of a strong-minded man. "For why is my liberty judged of by another conscience? For if I by grace am a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks? Whatever ye do, do all to the glory of God"—what you are commanded to do by the rule of faith.”
