He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord: and he that eateth, eateth unto the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, unto the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.

'unto the Lord' -can one do something 'unto the Lord' that is sinful?

' does it in the Lord's honor. (Gspd)

'for the Lord's sake' (Wey)

'he giveth God thanks' -can you sin and give God thanks at the same time?

Here is another problem for those that apply these verses to matters that involve sin. So as long as. 'do it unto the Lord.. and give thanks..that makes. sinful practice right?'

Clearly, Paul would not make. statement 'unto the Lord..giveth God thanks', IF THE PRACTICES INVOLVED WERE SINFUL!
