1 Corinthians 8 (WEBP)

[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 Corinthians 8 (KJVS)

[1] Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know () that we all have () knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, () but charity edifieth. ()
[2] And if any man think () that he knoweth () any thing, he knoweth () nothing yet as he ought () to know. ()
[3] But if any man love () God, the same is known () of him.
[4] As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know () that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is none other God but one.
[5] For though there be () that are called () gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be () gods many, and lords many,)
[6] 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.
[7] Howbeit there is not in every man that knowledge: for some with conscience of the idol unto this hour eat () it as a thing offered unto an idol; and their conscience being () weak is defiled. ()
[8] But meat commendeth () us not to God: for neither, if we eat, () are we the better; () neither, if we eat () not, are we the worse. ()
[9] But take heed () lest by any means this liberty of your’s become () a stumblingblock to them that are weak. ()
[10] For if any man see () thee which hast () knowledge sit at meat () in the idol’s temple, shall not the conscience of him which is () weak be emboldened () to eat () those things which are offered to idols;
[11] and through thy knowledge shall the weak () brother perish, () for whom Christ died? ()
[12] But when ye sin () so against the brethren, and wound () their weak () conscience, ye sin () against Christ.
[13] Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, () I will eat () no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend. ()
