1 Corinthians 8:1-12

1But concerningG4012 thingsG3956 sacrificed to idols, we know, (for we all have knowledgeG1108: knowledgeG1108 puffs up, but loveG26 edifiesG3618.

2If any oneG5100 thinkG1380 he knowsG1097 anythingG5100, he knowsG1097 nothing yetG3768 as he oughtG1163 to knowG1097 [it].

3But if any oneG5100 loveG25 1GodG2316, he is knownG1097 of him):

4— concerningG4012 then the eatingG1035 of things sacrificed to idolsG1497, we know that an idolG1497 [is] nothing in [the] worldG2889, and that there [is] no other 2GodG2316 save oneG1520.

5For and if indeed there areG1510 [those] called 3godsG2316, whether in heavenG3772 or on earthG1093, (as there areG1510 4godsG2316 manyG4183, and lordsG2962 manyG4183,)

6yet to us [there is] oneG1520 5GodG2316, the FatherG3962, of whom all thingsG3956, and we for him; and oneG1520 LordG2962, JesusG2424 ChristG5547, by whom [are] all thingsG3956, and we by him.

7But knowledgeG1108 [isG1510] not in all: but some, with conscienceG4893 of the idolG1497, until nowG1161 eatG2068 as of a thing sacrificed to idolsG1497; and their conscienceG4893, beingG1510 weakG772, isG1510 defiled.

8But meat does not commend us to 6GodG2316; neither if we should not eatG2068 do we come shortG5302; nor if we should eatG2068 have we an advantage.

9But seeG991 lestG3361 anywise this your rightG1849 [to eat] itself be a stumbling-block to the weakG772.

10For if any oneG5100 seeG3708 thee, who hast knowledgeG1108, sitting at table in an idol-house, shall not his conscienceG4893, he beingG1510 weakG772, beG1510 emboldened to eatG2068 the things sacrificed to the idol?

11and the weakG770 [oneG3739], the brotherG80 for whose sakeG1223 ChristG5547 diedG599, will perishG622 through thy knowledgeG1108.

12NowG1161, thusG3779 sinningG264 against the brethren, and wounding their weakG770 conscienceG4893, ye sinG264 against ChristG5547.
