*
Now as touching things offered unto idols ,
we know (
5758 )
that we all have (
5719 )
knowledge .
Knowledge puffeth up (
5719 ),
but charity edifieth (
5719 ).
*
And if any man think (
5719 )
that he knoweth (
5760 )
any thing ,
he knoweth (
5758 )
nothing yet as he ought (
5748 )
to know (
5629 ).
*
But if any man love (
5719 )
God ,
the same is known (
5769 )
of him .
*
As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols ,
we know (
5758 )
that an idol is nothing in the world ,
and that there is none other God but one .
*
For though there be (
5748 )
that are called (
5746 )
gods ,
whether in heaven or in earth , (
as there be (
5748 )
gods many ,
and lords many ,)
*
But to us there is but one God ,
the Father ,
of whom are all things ,
and we in him ;
and one Lord Jesus Christ ,
by whom are all things ,
and we by him .
*
Howbeit there is not in every man that knowledge :
for some with conscience of the idol unto this hour eat (
5719 )
it as a thing offered unto an idol ;
and their conscience being (
5752 )
weak is defiled (
5743 ).
*
But meat commendeth (
5719 )
us not to God :
for neither ,
if we eat (
5632 ),
are we the better (
5719 );
neither ,
if we eat (
5632 )
not ,
are we the worse (
5743 ).
*
But take heed (
5720 )
lest by any means this liberty of yours become (
5638 )
a stumblingblock to them that are weak (
5723 ).
*
For if any man see (
5632 )
thee which hast (
5723 )
knowledge sit at meat (
5740 )
in the idols temple ,
shall not the conscience of him which is (
5752 )
weak be emboldened (
5701 )
to eat (
5721 )
those things which are offered to idols ;
*
And through thy knowledge shall the weak (
5723 )
brother perish (
5689 ),
for whom Christ died (
5627 )?
*
But when ye sin (
5723 )
so against the brethren ,
and wound (
5723 )
their weak (
5723 )
conscience ,
ye sin (
5719 )
against Christ .
*
Wherefore ,
if meat make my brother to offend (
5719 ),
I will eat (
5632 )
no flesh while the world standeth ,
lest I make my brother to offend (
5661 ).
