25 [a]Eat anything sold in the market, without raising questions on grounds of conscience, 26 for “the earth and its fullness are the Lord’s.”(A) 27 If an unbeliever invites you and you want to go, eat whatever is placed before you, without raising questions on grounds of conscience.

- 10:25–30 A summary of specific situations in which the eating of meat sacrificed to idols could present problems of conscience. Three cases are considered. In the first (the marketplace, 1 Cor 10:25–26) and the second (at table, 1 Cor 10:27), there is no need to be concerned with whether food has passed through a pagan sacrifice or not, for the principle of 1 Cor 8:4–6 still stands, and the whole creation belongs to the one God. But in the third case (1 Cor 10:28), the situation changes if someone present explicitly raises the question of the sacrificial origin of the food; eating in such circumstances may be subject to various interpretations, some of which could be harmful to individuals. Paul is at pains to insist that the enlightened Christian conscience need not change its judgment about the neutrality, even the goodness, of the food in itself (1 Cor 10:29–30); yet the total situation is altered to the extent that others are potentially endangered, and this calls for a different response, for the sake of others.
1 Corinthians 10:25-27
New International Version
25 Eat anything sold in the meat market without raising questions of conscience,(A) 26 for, “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it.”[a](B)
27 If an unbeliever invites you to a meal and you want to go, eat whatever is put before you(C) without raising questions of conscience.
