Greek Commentary for 1 Corinthians 10:28
Condition of third class. Suppose at such a banquet a “weak” brother makes the point to you: “This hath been offered in sacrifice” ιεροτυτον Hierothuton late word in Plutarch, rare in inscriptions and papyri, only here in N.T. [source]
Present imperative with μη mē prohibiting the habit of eating then. Pertinent illustration to the point of doing what is expedient and edifying. That shewed it (τον μηνυσαντα ton mēnusanta). First aorist active articular participle (accusative case because of δια dia) from μηνυω mēnuō old verb, to point out, to disclose. See Luke 20:37. [source]

Some fellow-guest, probably a gentile convert, but, at all events, with a weak conscience. [source]

See on John 1:16. The word may mean that with which anything is filled (1 Corinthians 10:26, 1 Corinthians 10:28; Matthew 9:16; Mark 6:43); that which is filled (Ephesians 1:23); possibly the act of filling (Romans 13:10), though this is doubtful. Here in the first sense: the fullness of their number contrasted with the diminution. They will belong as an integral whole to the people of God. [source]
Instrumental case. For the word, a falling aside or a false step from παραπιπτω parapiptō see note on Romans 5:15-20. Is come.

Plainly the Corinthians had asked also about this problem in their letter to Paul (1 Corinthians 7:1). This compound adjective The connection between idolatry and impurity was very close, especially in Corinth. See both topics connected in Revelation 2:14, Revelation 2:20. By ειδωλοτυτα eidōlothuta was meant the portion of the flesh left over after the heathen sacrifices. The heathen called it ιεροτυτον hierothuton (1 Corinthians 10:28). This leftover part “was either eaten sacrificially, or taken home for private meals, or sold in the markets” (Robertson and Plummer). What were Christians to do about eating such portions either buying in the market or eating in the home of another or at the feast to the idol? Three questions are thus involved and Paul discusses them all. There was evidently difference of opinion on the subject among the Corinthian Christians. Aspects of the matter come forward not touched on in the Jerusalem Conference to which Paul does not here allude, though he does treat it in Galatians 2:1-10. There was the more enlightened group who acted on the basis of their superior knowledge about the non-existence of the gods represented by the idols. [source]
