1 Corinthians 10:29
_ _ Conscience ... of the other — the weak brother introduced in 1 Corinthians 10:28.
_ _ for why is my liberty judged off another man’s conscience? — Paul passes to the first person, to teach his converts by putting himself as it were in their position. The Greek terms for “the other” and “another” are distinct. “The other” is the one with whom Paul’s and his Corinthian converts’ concern is; “another” is any other with whom he and they have no concern. If a guest know the meat to be idol meat while I know it not, I have “liberty” to eat without being condemned by his “conscience” [Grotius]. Thus the “for,” etc., is an argument for 1 Corinthians 10:27, “Eat, asking no questions.” Or, Why should I give occasion by the rash use of my liberty that another should condemn it [Estius], or that my liberty should cause the destruction of my weak brother?” [Menochius]. Or, the words are those of the Corinthian objector (perhaps used in their letter, and so quoted by Paul), “Why is my liberty judged by another’s conscience?” Why should not I be judged only by my own, and have liberty to do whatever it sanctions? Paul replies in 1 Corinthians 10:31, Your doing so ought always to be limited by regard to what most tends “to the glory of God” [Vatablus, Conybeare and Howson]. The first explanation is simplest; the “for,” etc., in it refers to “not thine own” (that is, “not my own,” in Paul’s change to the first person); I am to abstain only in the case of liability to offend another’s conscience; in cases where my own has no scruple, I am not bound, in God’s judgment, by any other conscience than my own. |
1 Corinthians 10:29
Conscience I say, not thy own — I speak of his conscience, not thine. For why is my liberty judged by another's conscience — Another's conscience is not the standard of mine, nor is another's persuasion the measure of my liberty. |
1 Corinthians 10:29
Conscience, I say, not thine own, but of the other: (8) for why is my liberty judged of another [man's] conscience?
(8) A reason: for we must take heed that our liberty is not spoken of as evil, and that the benefit of God which we ought to use with thanksgiving is not changed into impiety. And this is through our fault, if we choose rather to offend the conscience of the weak, than to yield a little of our liberty in a matter of no importance, and so give occasion to the weak to judge in such sort of us, and of Christian liberty. And the apostle takes these things upon his own person, that the Corinthians may have so much the less occasion to oppose anything against him. |
- not:
1 Corinthians 10:32 Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God:
1 Corinthians 8:9-13 But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak. ... Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend.
Romans 14:15-21 But if thy brother be grieved with [thy] meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died. ... [It is] good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor [any thing] whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.
