To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Do I mean to say that an idol is any thing ? that it has a real existence ? Does my reasoning lead to that conclusion ; and am I to be under- stood as affirming that an idol is of itself of any consequence ? It must be recollected that the Corinthian Chris- tians are introduced by Paul (ch. viii.
4") as saying that they knew that an idol was nothing in the world. Paul did not directly contradict that; but his idol * is any thing ? or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing ?

... But / say, that the things ftc.8.4.
reasoning had led him to the necessity of calling the propriety of their attend- ing on the feasts of idols in question ; and he introduces the matter now by asking these questions, thus leading the mind to it rather than directly affirming it at once. ' Am I in this reasoning to be understood as affirming that an idol is any thing, or that the meat there offered differs from other meat ? No ; you know, says Paul, that this is not my meaning. I admit that an idol in itself is nothing: but I do not admit, therefore, that it is right for you to attend in their temples ; for though the idol itself— the block of wood or stone — is nothing, yet the offerings are really made to devils ; and I would not have you engage in such a service.' ver.
