Food Offered to Idols
1Now concerning ▼▼The expression Now concerning introduces a reply to a question in the Corinthians’ letter; see 7:1
bfood offered to idols: we know that c“all of us possess knowledge.” This “knowledge” dpuffs up, ebut love builds up. 1 Corinthians 8:7
7However, not all possess this knowledge. But some, fthrough former association with idols, eat food as really offered to an idol, and gtheir conscience, being weak, is defiled.1 Corinthians 8:10
10For if anyone sees you who have knowledge eating ▼▼Greek reclining at table
in an idol’s temple, will he not be encouraged, ▼▼Or fortified; Greek built up
if his conscience is weak, to eat food offered to idols?
