In 1 Corinthians 10:25, the dative singular neuter form occurs in the instruction concerning what is sold there; the APB renders the clause, "Eat all that is sold in the meat market, investigating nothing on account of conscience."
In the Anselm Project Bible: In 1 Corinthians 10:25, the APB presents the setting as "the meat market." This identifies the verse's setting rather than establishing a finer lexical distinction.
