80) The term
(qorban, Strong’s H7133) means something “brought near the altar” or to Elohim; it is used to describe Hebrew sacrifices and fellowship offerings in Leviticus and Numbers. Because Paul suggests that the food involved with sacrifices contained no spiritual or mystical properties, it stands to reason that it was instead the sacrificial act that made the closeness with Elohim possible. A reciprocal relationship was likely inferred by pagan cultures whereby the food was thought to be the path to communion or fellowship with the deity. Thus the former pagans would find it difficult to make such subtle distinctions as new believers.
81) Like government buildings erected today, so too were many public buildings of the Roman period adorned with idolatrous imagery; thus they would logically be perceived as “idol temples” by Corinthian and Roman believers. By today’s standards, the scenario described might be comparable to eating a “brown bag” lunch in a courthouse or capitol building, which often incorporate pagan themes and imagery.
82) Strong’s G4893, συνείδησις (suneidēsis), derived from Strong’s G4894, συνείδω (suneidō), which is translated as conscience, also implies perception or moral decisiveness, understanding, discernment, or awareness.
