27 If any of them that believe not, invite you, and you be willing to go: eat of any thing that is set before you, asking no question for conscience’ sake.

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 Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, eat: asking no question for conscience’ sake.

26 The earth is the Lord’s and the fulness thereof.

27 If any of them that believe not, invite you, and you be willing to go: eat of any thing that is set before you, asking no question for conscience’ sake.

28 But if any man say: This has been sacrificed to idols: do not eat of it, for his sake that told it and for conscience’ sake.

29 Conscience I say, not thy own, but the other’s. For why is my liberty judged by another man’s conscience?
