B. About the exercise of liberty (8 - 11:1)
Apparently, some Corinthian believers thought their liberty in Christ permitted them not only to eat meat offered to idols, but also to participate in pagan feasts (20-21). Chapter 10 warns believers to flee immoral extremes in the exercise of liberty.
God liberated Israel from bondage in Egypt, but severely chastened most of them for using their liberty to engage in immorality and idolatry (1-10). Since God chastens such believers, provides a way of escape from such temptation (11-13), and unites believers in one body of Christ (15-22), He urges them to flee immoral use of liberty (11-14), give no offense to other's conscience, and glorify God in all they do (23-33).
