[1] Now concerning things sacrificed to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up. [2] But if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he doesn’t yet know as he ought to know. [3] But anyone who loves God is known by him. [4] Therefore concerning the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that no idol is anything in the world, and that there is no other God but one. [5] For though there are things that are called “gods”, whether in the heavens or on earth—as there are many “gods” and many “lords”— [6] yet to us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we live through him. [7] However, that knowledge isn’t in all men. But some, with consciousness of an idol until now, eat as of a thing sacrificed to an idol, and their conscience, being weak, is defiled. [8] But food will not commend us to God. For neither, if we don’t eat are we the worse, nor if we eat are we the better. [9] But be careful that by no means does this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to the weak. [10] For if a man sees you who have knowledge sitting in an idol’s temple, won’t his conscience, if he is weak, be emboldened to eat things sacrificed to idols? [11] And through your knowledge, he who is weak perishes, the brother for whose sake Christ died. [12] Thus, sinning against the brothers, and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ. [13] Therefore, if food causes my brother to stumble, I will eat no meat forever more, that I don’t cause my brother to stumble.

[1] Now G1161 as touching G4012 things offered unto idols, G1494 we know G1492 that G3754 we G2192 all G3956 have G2192 knowledge. G1108 Knowledge G1108 puffeth up, G5448 but G1161 charity G26 edifieth. G3618 [2] And G1161 if G1487 any man G5100 think G1380 that he knoweth G1492 any thing, G5100 he knoweth G1097 nothing G3762 yet G3764 as G2531 he ought G1163 to know. G1097 [3] But G1161 if G1487 any man G5100 love G25 God, G2316 the same G3778 is known G1097 of G5259 him. G846 [4] As concerning G4012 therefore G3767 the G3588 eating G1035 of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, G1494 we know G1492 that G3754 an idol G1497 is nothing G3762 in G1722 the world, G2889 and G2532 that G3754 there is none G3762 other G2087 God G2316 but G1487 G3361 one. G1520 [5] For G1063 though G1512 there be G1526 that are called G3004 gods, G2316 whether G1535 in G1722 heaven G3772 or G1535 in G1909 earth, G1093 (as G5618 there be G1526 gods G2316 many, G4183 and G2532 lords G2962 many,) G4183 [6] but G235 to us G2254 there is but one G1520 God, G2316 the G3588 Father, G3962 of G1537 whom G3739 are all things, G3956 and G2532 we G2249 in G1519 him; G846§ and G2532 one G1520 Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ, G5547 by G1223 whom G3739 are all things, G3956 and G2532 we G2249 by G1223 him. G846 [7] Howbeit G235 there is not G3756 in G1722 every man G3956 that G3588 knowledge: G1108 for G1161 some G5100 with conscience G4893 of the G3588 idol G1497 unto G2193 this hour G737 eat G2068 it as G5613 a thing offered unto an idol; G1494 and G2532 their G846 conscience G4893 being G5607 weak G772 is defiled. G3435 [8] But G1161 meat G1033 commendeth G3936 us G2248 not G3756 to God: G2316 for G1063 neither, G3777 if G1437 we eat, G5315 are we the better; G4052§ neither, G3777 if G1437 we eat G5315 not, G3361 are we the worse. G5302§ [9] But G1161 take heed G991 lest by any means G3381 this G3778 liberty G1849§ of your’s G5216 become G1096 a stumblingblock G4348 to them that G3588 are weak. G770 [10] For G1063 if G1437 any man G5100 see G1492 thee G4571 which G3588 hast G2192 knowledge G1108 sit at meat G2621 in G1722 the idol’s temple, G1493 shall G3618 not G3780 the G3588 conscience G4893 of him G846 which is G5607 weak G772 be emboldened G3618§ G1519 to eat G2068 those things which are offered to idols; G1494 [11] and G2532 through G1909 thy G4674 knowledge G1108 shall G622 the G3588 weak G770 brother G80 perish, G622 for G1223 whom G3739 Christ G5547 died? G599 [12] But G1161 when ye sin G264 so G3779 against G1519 the G3588 brethren, G80 and G2532 wound G5180 their G846 weak G770 conscience, G4893 ye sin G264 against G1519 Christ. G5547 [13] Wherefore, G1355 if G1487 meat G1033 make G4624 my G3450 brother G80 to offend, G4624 I will eat G5315 no G3756 G3361 flesh G2907 while the world standeth, G1519 G165 lest G2443 G3361 I make G4624 my G3450 brother G80 to offend.
