What do I say then? that the idol is anything, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is anything?
All Commentaries on 1 Corinthians 10:19 Go To 1 Corinthians 10
John Chrysostom
AD 407
As if he had said, Now these things I affirm, and try to withdraw you from the idols, not as though they could do any injury or had any power: for an idol is nothing; but I wish you to despise them. And if you will have us despise them, says one, wherefore do you carefully withdraw us from them? Because they are not offered to your Lord.
