1 CORINTHIANS 10:27 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“If any of them that believe not bid you to a feast, and ye be disposed to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience sake.”
But if someone says to you, 'This has been offered in sacrifice,' then do not eat it, both for the sake of the person who told you and for the sake of conscience. — The qualifier: if the pagan explicitly indicates idol-sacrifice, refusal is obligatory. The duty is twofold: respect for the pagan informant (who must understand the religious meaning) and for one's own conscience (syneidēsis). Explicit knowledge changes the ethical calculus.
