1 Corinthiens 10:27

27 Si un non-croyant vous invite et que vous vouliez y aller, mangez de tout ce qu'on vous présentera, sans vous enquérir de rien par motif de conscience.

1 Corinthiens 10:27 Meaning and Commentary

1 Corinthians 10:27

If any of them that believe not
In Christ, and make no profession of faith in him; but are infidels to his person, office, grace, righteousness, Gospel, and ordinances, as there were many such at Corinth: "bid you" to a feast; invite you to dine or sup with them in their own houses:

and ye be disposed to go;
the apostle does not lay any commands upon them to go, or not go, but leaves them to their own will, inclination, and discretion; for as circumstances might be, it might be either proper or improper to listen to an invitation from such a quarter; but if they were inclined, and did think fit to go, which they might without sin; for as it is lawful to trade, so to eat and drink with unbelievers; then his advice is,

whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no questions for
conscience sake;
that is, as before, as whether it is offered to idols or not; lest either their own, or another's conscience should be hurt thereby.

1 Corinthiens 10:27 In-Context

25 Mangez de tout ce qui se vend au marché, sans vous enquérir de rien par motif de conscience;
26 car la terre est au Seigneur, et tout ce qu'elle renferme.
27 Si un non-croyant vous invite et que vous vouliez y aller, mangez de tout ce qu'on vous présentera, sans vous enquérir de rien par motif de conscience.
28 Mais si quelqu'un vous dit: Ceci a été offert en sacrifice! n'en mangez pas, à cause de celui qui a donné l'avertissement, et à cause de la conscience.
29 Je parle ici, non de votre conscience, mais de celle de l'autre. Pourquoi, en effet, ma liberté serait-elle jugée par une conscience étrangère?
