1 Corinthians 8:4-8

4SoG3767 aboutG4012 eatingG1035 food sacrificed to idolsG1494: We knowG1492 thatG3754 an idolG1497 is nothing at allG3762 inG1722 the worldG2889, andG2532 thatG3754 there is noG3762 GodG2316 butG1487G3361 oneG1520. 5ForG1063 evenG2532 ifG1512 there areG1510 so-calledG3004 godsG2316, whetherG1535 inG1722 heavenG3772 orG1535 onG1909 earthG1093 (asG5618 there areG1510 manyG4183 so-called godsG2316 andG2532 lordsG2962), 6yetG235 for usG1473 there is but oneG1520 GodG2316, theG3588 FatherG3962, fromG1537 whomG3739 allG3956 thingsG3588 came andG2532 forG1519 whom weG1473 exist. AndG2532 there is but oneG1520 LordG2962, JesusG2424 ChristG5547, throughG1223 whomG3739 allG3956 thingsG3588 came andG2532 throughG1223 whom weG1473 exist.

7ButG235 notG3756 everyoneG3956 has thisG3588 knowledgeG1108. SomeG5100 people are still so accustomedG4914G2193G737 to idolsG1497 that they eatG2068 such food as ifG5613 it were sacrificed to an idolG1494. AndG2532 since theirG846 conscienceG4893 isG1510 weakG772, it is defiledG3435. 8ButG1161 foodG1033 does not bring us closerG3756G3936G1473 toG3588 GodG2316: We are no worseG5302 ifG1437 we do not eatG3361G5315, and noG3361 better ifG1437 we doG5315.
