1 Now as to things offered to idols, we know that we
all have knowledge about them. Knowledge however
puffeth up, but note charity edifieth.
2 And if any one be
note conceited of his knowledge, he knoweth nothing yet
as he ought to know.
3 But if any man love God, he is
-- --
owned by Him.
4 As to the eating therefore of things
sacrificed to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in
the world, and that there is no other God but one.
5 For though there be some that are called Gods, whether
in heaven or on earth, (as there are among the heathen
gods many,
6 and lords many,) yet to us there is but one
God the Father, from whom are all things, and we
note in Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all
things, and we by Him.
7 But there is not in all men this
knowledge: and some with a consciousness of the idol
unto this day, eat it as a thing sacrificed to an idol, and
so their conscience being weak is defiled.
8 But meat
does not recommend us to God; for neither, if we eat,
are we the better; nor note the worse, if we eat not.
9 But see that this liberty of yours be not by any means
a stumbling-block to the weak.
10 For if any one see thee,
who hast knowledge, note at table in an idol's temple, will
not the conscience of him that is weak be encouraged
to eat of the things sacrificed to idols?
11 and so the weak
brother, for whom Christ died, shall perish by thy
knowledge?
12 But in thus sinning against your brethren,
and wounding their weak conscience, ye sin against
Christ:
13 wherefore if meat make my brother to offend,
I will never eat flesh while I breathe, least I make my
brother to offend.
