| | |
| * [[1 Corinthians 8:1|1]] Now concerning things offered to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love edifies.
| |
| | |
| * [[1 Corinthians 8:2|2]] And if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he knows nothing yet as he ought to know.
| |
| | |
| * [[1 Corinthians 8:3|3]] But if anyone loves God, this one is known of Him.
| |
| | |
| * [[1 Corinthians 8:4|4]] Therefore concerning the eating of things offered to idols, we know that an idol ''is'' nothing in the world, and that ''there'' ''is'' no other God but one.
| |
| | |
| * [[1 Corinthians 8:5|5]] Because, even if there are so called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as there are many gods and many lords),
| |
| | |
| * [[1 Corinthians 8:6|6]] yet for us ''there'' is ''only'' one God, the Father, of whom ''are'' all things, and we in Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom ''are'' all things, and by whom we ''live.''
| |
| | |
| * [[1 Corinthians 8:7|7]] However, not everyone possesses that knowledge; but some, with consciousness of the idol, until now eat ''it'' as a thing offered to an idol; and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.
| |
| | |
| * [[1 Corinthians 8:8|8]] But food does not commend us to God; because neither if we eat are we better off, nor if we do not eat are we worse off.
| |
| | |
| * [[1 Corinthians 8:9|9]] But beware lest somehow this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to those who are weak.
| |
| | |
| * [[1 Corinthians 8:10|10]] Because, if anyone sees you who have knowledge eating in an idol’s temple, shall not the conscience of him who is weak be emboldened to eat those things offered to idols?
| |
| | |
| * [[1 Corinthians 8:11|11]] And because of your knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died?
| |
| | |
| * [[1 Corinthians 8:12|12]] But when you sin like this against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.
| |
| | |
| * [[1 Corinthians 8:13|13]] Therefore, if food makes my brother stumble, I will never eat meat while the world stands, lest I make my brother stumble.
