1 Corinthiërs 10:27

27 En indien u iemand van de ongelovigen noodt, en gij daar gaan wilt, eet al wat ulieden voorgesteld wordt, niets ondervragende, om des gewetens wil.

1 Corinthiërs 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 Corinthiërs 10:27 In-Context

25 Eet al wat in het vleeshuis verkocht wordt, niets ondervragende, om des gewetens wil;

26 Want de aarde is des Heeren, en de volheid derzelve.

27 En indien u iemand van de ongelovigen noodt, en gij daar gaan wilt, eet al wat ulieden voorgesteld wordt, niets ondervragende, om des gewetens wil.

28 Maar zo iemand tot ulieden zegt: Dat is afgodenoffer; eet het niet, om desgenen wil, die u dat te kennen gegeven heeft, en om des gewetens wil. Want de aarde is des Heeren, en de volheid derzelve.

29 Doch ik zeg: om het geweten, niet van uzelven, maar des anderen; want waarom wordt mijn vrijheid geoordeeld van een ander geweten?
