10:28a But if someone tells you,

However, if/suppose someone should say to you (plur.) :

10:28b “This food was offered to idols,”

“This food was sacrificed to an idol,”
-or-
“This is meat that worshipers have dedicated to an idol,”

10:28c then do not eat it,

then you (plur.) should not eat it,
-or-
then, in that case, I advise you not to eat that food.

10:28d for the sake of the one who told you

both because of the person who said that
-or-
In that way you (plur.) will be considerate of the person who informed you,

10:28e and for the sake of conscience—

and because in that person’s heart it is a sin.
-or-
and ⌊you (plur.) will not⌋ make them upset because they think you are doing wrong.
