1 Korinther 10:27

27 So aber jemand von den Ungläubigen euch ladet und ihr wollt hingehen, so esset alles, was euch vorgetragen wird, und forschet nicht, auf daß ihr das Gewissen verschonet.

1 Korinther 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.

25 Alles, was feil ist auf dem Fleischmarkt, das esset, und forschet nicht, auf daß ihr das Gewissen verschonet.
26 Denn "die Erde ist des HERRN und was darinnen ist."
27 So aber jemand von den Ungläubigen euch ladet und ihr wollt hingehen, so esset alles, was euch vorgetragen wird, und forschet nicht, auf daß ihr das Gewissen verschonet.
28 Wo aber jemand würde zu euch sagen: "Das ist Götzenopfer", so esset nicht, um des willen, der es anzeigte, auf daß ihr das Gewissen verschonet. {~} {~} {~} {~} {~} {~}
29 Ich sage aber vom Gewissen, nicht deiner selbst, sondern des andern. Denn warum sollte ich meine Freiheit lassen richten von eines andern Gewissen?
