CHAP. VIII.
1 From this place vnto the ende of the tenth Chapter, hee
willeth them not to be at the Gentiles prophane bankets. 18
He restraineth the abuse of Christian libertie, 11 and sheweth
that knowledge must be tempered with charitie.
-- --
Christian libertie.
1 And note as touching things sacrificed vnto idols,
wee knowe that wee note all haue knowledge:
knowledge note puffeth vp, but loue note edifieth.
2 Nowe, if any man thinke that hee knoweth
any thing, hee knoweth nothing yet as hee ought
to knowe.
3 But if any man loue God, the same is knowen
of him.
4 noteConcerning therefore the eating of things
sacrificed vnto note idoles, we knowe that an idole is
note nothing in the worlde, and that there is none other
God but one.
5 For though there bee that are called gods,
whether in heauen, or in earth (as there be many
gods, and many lords)
6 Yet vnto vs there is but one God, which is
that Father, note of whome are all things, and we note in
him: and note note one Lorde Iesus Christ, note by whome
are all things, and we by him.
7 noteBut euery man hath not that knowledge:
for note many hauing note conscience of the idole,
vntill this houre, eate as a thing sacrificed
vnto the idole, and so their conscience being
weake, is defiled.
8 noteBut meate maketh not vs acceptable to
God, for neither if we eate, haue we the more: neither
if we eate not, haue we the lesse.
9 But take heede lest by any meanes this
power of yours be an occasion of falling, to them
that are weake.
10 noteFor if any man see thee which hast knowledge,
sit at table in the idoles temple, shal not the
conscience of him which is weake, be boldened
to eate those things which are sacrificed to idoles?
Not to offend the weake.
11 noteAnd through thy knowledge shall the
note weake brother perish, for whome Christ died.
12 noteNowe when ye sinne so against the brethren,
and wound their weake conscience, ye sinne
against Christ.
13 note noteWherefore if meate offende my brother,
I wil eate no flesh while the world standeth,
that I may not offend my brother.
