Chapter 10 is the last chapter of a 3-chapter arc discussing food dedicated to idols. Building on the previous chapters, St. Paul answers three questions concerning the same issue:

• How does a believer respond when invited to banquets in a pagan temple? (vv1-22)
• May a believer eat meat sold in the market that was probably came from a sacrifice made to idols? (vv23-26)
• May a believer accept an invitation to eat in the house of a pagan worshipper? (27-33)

As people living in the world today, much of St. Paul's discussion still applies with how we interact with others in the world while maintaining our faith.
