1 Corinthians 8:1
|
|
Now concerning things sacrificed to idols: We
know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but love edifieth. |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 8:2
|
|
If any man thinketh that he knoweth anything,
he knoweth not yet as he ought to know; |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 8:3
|
|
but if any man loveth God, the same is known
by him. |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 8:4
|
|
Concerning
therefore the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that no idol is anything
in the world, and that there is no God but one. |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 8:5
|
|
For though there be that are called gods, whether
in heaven or on earth; as there are gods many, and lords many; |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 8:6
|
|
yet to us there is one God, the Father, of whom
are all things, and we unto him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are
all things, and we through him. |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 8:7
|
|
Howbeit there is not in all men that knowledge:
but some, being used until now to the idol, eat as of a thing sacrificed to an
idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled. |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 8:8
|
|
But food will not commend us to God: neither,
if we eat not, are we the worse; nor, if we eat, are we the better. |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 8:9
|
|
But take heed lest by any means this liberty
of yours become a stumblingblock to the weak. |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 8:10
|
|
For if a man see thee who hast knowledge sitting
at meat in an idol's temple, will not his conscience, if he is weak, be emboldened
to eat things sacrificed to idols? |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 8:11
|
|
For through thy knowledge he that is weak perisheth,
the brother for whose sake Christ died. |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 8:12
|
|
And thus, sinning against the brethren, and
wounding their conscience when it is weak, ye sin against Christ. |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 8:13
|
|
Wherefore, if meat causeth my brother to stumble,
I will eat no flesh for evermore, that I cause not my brother to stumble. |
