Verse 19
What say I then? that a thing sacrificed to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything?
The Hebrew idiom here is to be understood as a negative, such use of the interrogative being common in the New Testament. In Paul's view, the idol was actually nothing at all; and the intention of the "knowledge" group in Corinth was nothing at all; but none of this made any difference with the fact that actions engaged in the worship of idols were sinful.
