1 Corinthians 10:14-15
(14) Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.
(15) I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say.
10:14-15. The therefore (dioper) introduced Paul’s application of Christian freedom to eating food sacrificed to idols. He gave advice in three areas: (a) meat in the pagan temple (vv. 14-22; cf. 8:10); (b) meat in the marketplace (10:25-26); (c) meat in the home (vv. 27-30). His advice on the first count was uncomplicated— flee from idolatry (cf. 6:18, “flee from sexual immorality”). He believed that the rhetorical questions which followed would lead sensible people like the Corinthians (cf. 4:10) to agree.
