‏ 1 Corinthians 10:28

 But if any man say unto you ( εαν δε τις υμιν ειπη ). Condition of third class. Suppose at such a banquet a "weak" brother makes the point to you: "This hath been offered in sacrifice" ( τουτο ιεροθυτον εστιν ).  Hιεροθυτον, late word in Plutarch, rare in inscriptions and papyri, only here in N.T.

 Eat not ( μη εσθιετε ). Present imperative with  μη prohibiting the habit of eating then. Pertinent illustration to the point of doing what is expedient and edifying.

 That shewed it ( τον μηνυσαντα ). First aorist active articular participle (accusative case because of  δια ) from  μηνυω, old verb, to point out, to disclose. See Lu 20:37.
