1 Corinthians 8:10

For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol's temple St Paul would seem here to be putting an extreme case. He supposes the more enlightened believer to have carried his views of the non-existence of idols to their utmost possible limits, and to have seated himself in the idol temple, and partaken of the food which to his eyes is as fit for food as any other, if it be partaken of with thanksgiving (ch. 1 Corinthians 10:25-30; 1 Timothy 4:3). He points out the terrible danger such a man runs of inducing others to regard idol-worship as a thing indifferent, to relapse into idolatry and to ruin their souls. Some commentators, supposing it impossible that a Christian could be found in the idol temple, have rendered - at an idol sacrifice," but the analogy of other similarly formed Greek words confirms the rendering in the text.
