1 Corinthians 8

1NowG1161 as concerningG4012 things offered to idolsG1494, we knowG1492 thatG3754 we allG3956 haveG2192 knowledgeG1108. KnowledgeG1108 puffeth upG5448, butG1161 charityG26 edifiethG3618. 2AndG1161 if any manG1536 thinkethG1380 that he knowethG1492 any thingG5100, he knowethG1097 nothingG3762 yetG3764 asG2531 he oughtG1163 to knowG1097. 3ButG1161 if any manG1536 lovethG25 GodG2316, the sameG3778 is knownG1097 byG5259 himG846.

4ThereforeG3767 as concerningG4012 the eatingG1035 of those things that are offered in sacrifice to idolsG1494, we knowG1492 thatG3754 an idolG1497 is nothingG3762 inG1722 the worldG2889, andG2532 thatG3754 there is noG3762 otherG2087 GodG2316 butG1508 oneG1520. 5ForG1063 thoughG1512G2532 there areG1526 that are calledG3004 godsG2316, whetherG1535 inG1722 heavenG3772 orG1535 uponG1909 earthG1093, asG5618 there areG1526 godsG2316 manyG4183, andG2532 lordsG2962 manyG4183,) 6YetG235 to usG2254 there is but oneG1520 GodG2316, the FatherG3962, fromG1537 whomG3739 are all thingsG3956, andG2532 weG2249 inG1519 himG846; andG2532 oneG1520 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, byG1223 whomG3739 are all thingsG3956, andG2532 weG2249 byG1223 himG846.1

7ButG235there isnotG3756 inG1722 every manG3956 that knowledgeG1108: forG1161 someG5100 with conscienceG4893 of the idolG1497 toG2193 this hourG737 eatG2068 it asG5613 a thing offered to an idolG1494; andG2532 theirG846 conscienceG4893 beingG5607 weakG772 is defiledG3435. 8ButG1161 foodG1033 commendethG3936 usG2248 notG3756 to GodG2316: forG1063 neitherG3777, ifG1437 we eatG5315, are we the betterG4052; neitherG3777, ifG3362 we eatG5315 notG3362, are we the worseG5302.23 9ButG1161 take heedG991 lestG3381 by any meansG4458 thisG3778 libertyG1849 of yoursG5216 should becomeG1096 a stumblingblockG4348 to them that are weakG770.4 10ForG1063 ifG1437 any manG5100 shall seeG1492 theeG4571 whoG3588 hastG2192 knowledgeG1108 sit eatingG2621 inG1722 the idol’s templeG1493, shallG3618 notG3780 the conscienceG4893 of himG846 who isG5607 weakG772 be emboldenedG3618G1519 to eatG2068 those things which are offered to idolsG1494;5 11AndG2532 throughG1909 thyG4674 knowledgeG1108 shallG622 the weakG770 brotherG80 perishG622, forG1223 whomG3739 ChristG5547 diedG599? 12ButG1161 when ye thus sinG264G3779 againstG1519 the brethrenG80, andG2532 woundG5180 theirG846 weakG770 conscienceG4893, ye sinG264 againstG1519 ChristG5547. 13ThereforeG1355, ifG1487 foodG1033 makethG4624 myG3450 brotherG80 to stumbleG4624, I will eatG5315 noG3364 fleshG2907 while the world standethG1519G165, lestG3363 I makeG4624 myG3450 brotherG80 to stumbleG4624.
