1 Corinthians 8:1-7

1NowG1161 concerningG4012 1foodG1494 sacrificedG1494 toG1494 idolsG1494, we knowG3609 that we allG3956 haveG2192 2knowledgeG1108. KnowledgeG1108 34makesG5448 one conceitedG5448, but loveG26 5edifiesG3618 people. 26IfG1487 anyoneG5100 thinksG1380 that he knowsG1097 anythingG5100, he has not yetG3768 7knownG1097 as he oughtG1163 to knowG1097; 3but ifG1487 anyoneG5100 lovesG25 GodG2316, he 8is knownG1097 by Him.

4ThereforeG3767, concerningG4012 the eatingG1035 of 9foodG1494 sacrificedG1494 toG1494 idolsG1494, we knowG3609 that an 10idolG1497 is 11nothingG3762 atG3762 allG3762 in the worldG2889, and that 12there is noG3762 GodG2316 but oneG1520. 5For evenG2532 ifG1512 13there are so-calledG3004 godsG2316 whetherG1535 in heavenG3772 orG1535 on earthG1093, as indeedG5618 there are manyG4183 godsG2316 and manyG4183 lordsG2962, 6yetG235 for us 14there is only oneG1520 GodG2316, 15the FatherG3962, 16from whomG3739 are allG3956 thingsG3956, and we exist for Him; and 17oneG1520 LordG2962, JesusG2424 ChristG5547, 18by whomG3739 are allG3956 thingsG3956, and we exist throughG1223 Him.

7HoweverG235, not allG3956 peopleG3956 19have thisG3588 knowledgeG1108; but 20someG5100, being accustomedG4914 to the idolG1497 untilG2193 nowG737, eatG2068 food as ifG5613 it were sacrificedG1494 toG1494 anG1494 idolG1494; and their conscienceG4893, beingG1510 weakG772, is defiledG3435.
