Chap. VIII.
noteHe rebuketh the learned vvho in pride of their knovvledge did eate Idolothyta, that is
things offered to Idols, vsing (as they said) their libertie: but not considering
that the ignorant tooke their doing as an example for them to frequent such meates
so, as they did before in their Paganisme, vvith opinion that they did sanctifie
the eaters.
1 And concerning those things that are
sacrificed to Idols, vve knovv that09Q1086vve al
haue knovvledge. noteKnovvledge puffeth
vp: but charitie edifieth.
2 And if any
man thinke that he knoweth something,
he hath not yet knovven, as he ought to
knovv.
3 But if any man loue God, the
same is knovven of him.
4 But as for the meates that are
immolated to Idols, vve knovv that an Idol is nothing in
the vvorld, and that there is no God, but one.
5 For although
there be that are called gods, either in heauen, or in
earth (for there are many gods, and many lordes)
6 yet to vs
there is one God, the Father, of vvhom al things, and vve
vnto him: and one Lord, Iesvs Christ, by vvhom al things,
and vve by him.
7 But there is not knovvledge in al. For
09Q1087some vntil this presentvvith a conscience of the Idol, eate
as a thing sacrificed to Idols: and their conscience being
vveake, is polluted.
8 But meate doth not commend vs to
God. For neither if vve eate, shal vve abound: nor if vve
eate not, shal vve lacke.
9 But take heede lest perhaps this
your libertie be an offense to the vveake.
10 For if a man see
him that hath knovvledge, sit at table09Q1088in the Idols temple:
shal not his conscience, being vveake, be edified, to eate
things sacrificed to Idols?
11 And through thy knovvledge
shal the note vveake brother perish, for whom Christ hath died?
12 But sinning thus against the brethren, and striking their
vveake conscience: you sinne against Christ.
13 Vvherfore
if note meate scandalize my brother: I vvil neuer eate flesh, lest
I scandalize my brother.
