1 Corinthians 8

1NowG1161 as touchingG4012 things offered unto idolsG1494, we knowG1492 thatG3754 weG2192 allG3956 haveG2192 knowledgeG1108. KnowledgeG3588G1108 puffeth upG5448, butG1161 charityG26 edifiethG3618. 2AndG1161 ifG1487 any manG5100 thinkG1380 that he knowethG1492 any thingG5100, he knowethG1097 nothingG3762 yetG3764 asG2531 he oughtG1163 to knowG1097. 3ButG1161 ifG1487 any manG5100 loveG25 GodG3588G2316, the sameG3778 is knownG1097 ofG5259 himG846. 4

As concerningG4012 thereforeG3767 the eatingG3588G1035 of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idolsG1494, we knowG1492 thatG3754 an idolG1497 is nothingG3762 inG1722 the worldG2889, andG2532 thatG3754 there is noneG3762 otherG2087 GodG2316 butG1487 oneG1520. 5ForG1063 thoughG1512 there beG1510 that are calledG3004 godsG2316, whetherG1535 inG1722 heavenG3772 orG1535 inG1909 earthG3588G1093, (asG5618 there beG1510 godsG2316 manyG4183, andG2532 lordsG2962 manyG4183,) 6ButG235 to usG1473 there is but oneG1520 GodG2316, the FatherG3588G3962, ofG1537 whomG3739 are all thingsG3956, andG2532 weG1473 inG1519 himG846; andG2532 oneG1520 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, byG1223 whomG3739 are all thingsG3956, andG2532 weG1473 byG1223 himG846.

7HowbeitG235 there is notG3756 inG1722 every manG3956 that knowledgeG3588G1108: forG1161 someG5100 with conscienceG3588G4893 of the idolG3588G1497 untoG2193 this hourG737 eatG2068 it asG5613 a thing offered unto an idolG1494; andG2532 theirG846 conscienceG3588G4893 beingG1510 weakG772 is defiledG3435. 8ButG1161 meatG1033 commendethG3936 usG1473 notG3756 to GodG3588G2316: forG1063 neitherG3777, ifG1437 we eatG5315, are we the betterG4052; neitherG3777, ifG1437 we eatG5315 notG3361, are we the worseG5302. 9ButG1161 take heedG991 lest by any meansG3381 thisG3778 libertyG3588G1849 of yoursG4771 becomeG1096 a stumblingblockG4348 to themG3588 that are weakG770. 10ForG1063 ifG1437 any manG5100 seeG3708 theeG4771 which hastG3588G2192 knowledgeG1108 sit at meatG2621 inG1722 the idol’s templeG1493, shallG3618 notG3780 the conscienceG3588G4893 of himG846 which isG1510 weakG772 be emboldenedG3618 to eatG3588G2068 those things which are offered to idolsG3588G1494; 11AndG2532 throughG1909 thyG4674 knowledgeG1108 shallG622 the weakG770 brotherG80 perishG622, forG1223 whomG3739 ChristG5547 diedG599? 12ButG1161 when ye sinG264 soG3779 againstG1519 the brethrenG3588G80, andG2532 woundG5180 theirG846 weakG770 conscienceG3588G4893, ye sinG264 againstG1519 ChristG5547. 13WhereforeG1355, ifG1487 meatG1033 makeG4624 myG1473 brotherG3588G80 to offendG4624, I will eatG5315 noG3361 fleshG2907 whileG1519 the world standethG3588G165, lestG3361 I makeG4624 myG1473 brotherG3588G80 toG2443 offendG4624.
