Strong's Number G1494 matches the Greek εἰδωλόθυτος (eidōlothytos),
which occurs 10 times in 10 verses
in the TR Greek.
“that you abstain from food offered to idols, from blood, from eating anything that has been strangled, and from sexual immorality. You will do well if you keep yourselves from these things.
Farewell.”
“With regard to the Gentiles who have believed, we have written a letter containing our decision that[fn] they should keep themselves from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from what is strangled, and from sexual immorality.”
Now about food sacrificed to idols: We know that “we all have knowledge.” Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.
About eating food sacrificed to idols, then, we know that “an idol is nothing in the world,”[fn] and that “there is no God but one.”
However, not everyone has this knowledge. Some have been so used to idolatry up until now that when they eat food sacrificed to an idol, their conscience, being weak, is defiled.
For if someone sees you, the one who has knowledge, dining in an idol’s temple, won’t his weak conscience be encouraged[fn] to eat food offered to idols?
What am I saying then? That food sacrificed to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything?
But if someone says to you, “This is food from a sacrifice,” do not eat it, out of consideration for the one who told you, and for the sake of conscience.[fn]
“But I have a few things against you. You have some there who hold to the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to place a stumbling block[fn] in front of the Israelites: to eat meat sacrificed to idols and to commit sexual immorality.
