Wrapped into the framework of the ongoing discussion about idols, meat, Israel's history and more, this chapter is chock full of straight forward mandates like:
'Do not be idolaters' (v. 7)
'We should not commit sexual immorality' (v. 8)
'We should not test the Lord' (v. 9)
'do not grumble' (v. 10)
'be careful that you don't fall' (v. 12)
'flee from idolatry' (v. 14)
'Eat anything sold in the meat market without raising questions of conscience' (v. 25)
'eat whatever is put before you without raising questions of conscience' (v. 27)
'whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God' (v. 31)
'Do not cause anyone to stumble' (v. 32)
How great life would be if every one of us did our best to live like this.
