'Thing' in the Bible

But to me it is a very small thing that I may be examined by you, or by any human court; in fact, I do not even examine myself.

Therefore concerning the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that there is no such thing as an idol in the world, and that there is no God but one.

What do I mean then? That a thing sacrificed to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything?
