1 Corinthians 10:27

27 Those who are not believers may invite you to eat with them. If you want to go, eat anything that is put before you. Do not ask questions to see if you think it might be wrong to eat.

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 any meat that is sold in the meat market. Do not ask questions to see if it is meat you think is wrong to eat.
26 You may eat it, "because the earth belongs to the Lord, and everything in it."
27 Those who are not believers may invite you to eat with them. If you want to go, eat anything that is put before you. Do not ask questions to see if you think it might be wrong to eat.
28 But if anyone says to you, "That food was offered to idols," do not eat it. Do not eat it because of that person who told you and because eating it might be thought to be wrong.
29 I don't mean you think it is wrong, but the other person might. But why, you ask, should my freedom be judged by someone else's conscience?
