conscience,. say, not thine own, but the other's; for why is my liberty judged by another conscience?

'for why is my liberty judged by another conscience?' -'Why then should my personal freedom be limited by another's conscience' (Wms); 'What? you say, is my freedom to be called in question by another man's conscience.' (NEB)

'judged' -'pass an unfavorable judgement upon, criticize, find fault with, condemn.' (Willis p. 349)

If. Christian (like Paul) went ahead and ate the meat under those circumstances, the other people at dinner would condemn him for it. And Paul asks the Corinthians, what possible "good" (1 Corinthians 10:24) could come from that? What would be "gained"? (1 Corinthians 10:23)
