Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

1 Corinthians 8:10

_ _ if any man — being weak.

_ _ which hast knowledge — The very knowledge which thou pridest thyself on (1 Corinthians 8:1), will lead the weak after thy example to do that against his conscience, which thou doest without any scruple of conscience; namely, to eat meats offered to idols.

_ _ conscience of him which is weak — rather, “His conscience, seeing he is weak” [Alford and others].

_ _ emboldened — literally, “built up.” You ought to have built up your brother in good: but by your example your building him up is the emboldening him to violate his conscience.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 1 Corinthians 8:7-13.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

1 Corinthians 8:10

For if any one see thee who hast knowledge — Whom he believes to have more knowledge than himself, and who really hast this knowledge, that an idol is nothing — sitting down to an entertainment in an idol temple. The heathens frequently made entertainments in their temples, on what hath been sacrificed to their idols. Will not the conscience of him that is weak — Scrupulous. Be encouraged — By thy example. To eat — Though with a doubting conscience.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

1 Corinthians 8:10

(6) For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol's temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols;

(6) Another plain explication of the same reason, propounding the example of the sitting down at the table in the idol's temple. This thing the Corinthians did wrongly consider among things indifferent, because it is simply forbidden for the circumstance of the place, even though the offence had ceased, as it will be declared in its place.
