1 Corinthians 10:27

27 If an unbeliever invites you to a meal and you are disposed to go, eat whatever is set before you without raising any question on the ground of conscience.

1 Corinthians 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 Corinthians 10:27 In-Context

25 Eat whatever is sold in the meat market without raising any question on the ground of conscience,

26 for "the earth and its fullness are the Lord's."

27 If an unbeliever invites you to a meal and you are disposed to go, eat whatever is set before you without raising any question on the ground of conscience.

28 But if someone says to you, "This has been offered in sacrifice," then do not eat it, out of consideration for the one who informed you, and for the sake of conscience—

29 I mean the other's conscience, not your own. For why should my liberty be subject to the judgment of someone else's conscience?
