SIL Translator’s Notes on 1 Corinthians 8:10

8:10a For if someone with a weak conscience sees you who are well informed eating in an idol’s temple,

For suppose a believer with a weak conscience sees you (sing.) who know ⌊about idols⌋ while you (sing.) are eating ⌊idol food⌋ in an idol’s temple.
-or-
Perhaps one of you (plur.) who understands ⌊that idols are not real⌋ may go to an idol’s place and eat food there. Then another believer who finds it hard do what is right may see you (sing.) eating there.

8:10b will he not be encouraged to eat food sacrificed to idols?

Don’t you (sing.) think he will be encouraged to eat meat that has been sacrificed to idols?
-or-
That will surely give him ⌊false⌋ confidence to do what he sees you (sing.) doing. He will eat meat that has been offered/given to an idol ⌊even though he thinks it is wrong⌋.
