81 Corinthians 8

1Now concerning things sacrificed to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but love edifieth.Select 1 Corinthians 8:1

2If any man thinketh that he knoweth anything, he knoweth not yet as he ought to know;Select 1 Corinthians 8:2

3but if any man loveth God, the same is known by him.Select 1 Corinthians 8:3

4Concerning 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.Select 1 Corinthians 8:4

5For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or on earth; as there are gods many, and lords many;Select 1 Corinthians 8:5

6yet 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.Select 1 Corinthians 8:6

7Howbeit 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.Select 1 Corinthians 8:7

8But food will not commend us to God: neither, if we eat not, are we the worse; nor, if we eat, are we the better.Select 1 Corinthians 8:8

9But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to the weak.Select 1 Corinthians 8:9

10For 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?Select 1 Corinthians 8:10

11For through thy knowledge he that is weak perisheth, the brother for whose sake Christ died.Select 1 Corinthians 8:11

12And thus, sinning against the brethren, and wounding their conscience when it is weak, ye sin against Christ.Select 1 Corinthians 8:12

13Wherefore, if meat causeth my brother to stumble, I will eat no flesh for evermore, that I cause not my brother to stumble.Select 1 Corinthians 8:13
