ܥܠ ܕܒܚܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܦܬܟܪܐ ܝܕܥܝܢܢ ܕܒܟܠܢ ܐܝܬ ܝܕܥܬܐ ܘܝܕܥܬܐ ܡܚܬܪܐ ܚܘܒܐ ܕܝܢ ܒܢܐ 1
Now concerning things sacrificed to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.
ܐܢ ܐܢܫ ܕܝܢ ܤܒܪ ܕܝܕܥ ܡܕܡ ܠܐ ܥܕܟܝܠ ܡܕܡ ܝܕܥ ܐܝܟ ܡܐ ܕܘܠܐ ܠܗ ܠܡܕܥ 2
But if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he does not yet know as he ought to know.
ܐܢ ܐܢܫ ܕܝܢ ܡܚܒ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܗܢܐ ܐܬܝܕܥ ܡܢܗ 3
But if anyone loves God, the same is known by him.
ܥܠ ܡܐܟܘܠܬܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܕܕܒܚܐ ܕܦܬܟܪܐ ܝܕܥܝܢܢ ܕܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܕܡ ܗܘ ܦܬܟܪܐ ܒܥܠܡܐ ܘܕܠܝܬ ܐܠܗ ܐܚܪܝܢ ܐܠܐ ܐܢ ܚܕ 4
Therefore concerning 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.
ܐܦܢ ܓܝܪ ܐܝܬ ܕܡܬܩܪܝܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܘ ܒܫܡܝܐ ܐܘ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܐܠܗܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܘܡܪܘܬܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ 5
For though there are things that are called "gods," whether in the heavens or on earth; as there are many "gods" and many "lords;"
ܐܠܐ ܠܢ ܕܝܠܢ ܚܕ ܗܘ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܒܐ ܕܟܠ ܡܢܗ ܘܚܢܢ ܒܗ ܘܚܕ ܡܪܝܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܕܟܠ ܒܐܝܕܗ ܘܐܦ ܚܢܢ ܒܐܝܕܗ 6
yet to us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things, and we for him; and one Lord, Jesus (the) Messiah, through whom are all things, and we live through him.
ܐܠܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܒܟܠܢܫ ܝܕܥܬܐ ܐܝܬ ܓܝܪ ܐܢܫܐ ܕܒܬܐܪܬܗܘܢ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܗܫܐ ܕܥܠ ܦܬܟܪܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܕܒܝܚܐ ܐܟܠܝܢ ܘܡܛܠ ܕܟܪܝܗܐ ܬܐܪܬܗܘܢ ܡܬܛܘܫܐ 7
However, not all have this knowledge. But some, being so accustomed to idols until now, eat as of a thing sacrificed to an idol, and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.
ܡܐܟܘܠܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܡܩܪܒܐ ܠܢ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܢ ܐܟܠܝܢܢ ܡܬܝܬܪܝܢܢ ܘܠܐ ܐܢ ܠܐ ܢܐܟܘܠ ܡܬܒܨܪܝܢܢ 8
But food will not commend us to God. For neither, if we do not eat, are we the worse; nor, if we eat, are we the better.
ܚܙܘ ܕܝܢ ܕܠܡܐ ܫܘܠܛܢܟܘܢ ܗܢܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܬܘܩܠܬܐ ܠܟܪܝܗܐ 9
But be careful that by no means does this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to the weak.
ܐܢ ܐܢܫ ܓܝܪ ܢܚܙܝܟ ܠܟ ܕܐܝܬ ܒܟ ܝܕܥܬܐ ܕܤܡܝܟ ܐܢܬ ܒܝܬ ܦܬܟܪܐ ܠܐ ܗܐ ܬܐܪܬܗ ܡܛܠ ܕܟܪܝܗ ܗܘ ܡܫܬܪܪܐ ܠܡܐܟܠ ܕܕܒܝܚܐ 10
For if someone sees you who have knowledge sitting in an idol's temple, won't his conscience, if he is weak, be emboldened to eat things sacrificed to idols?
ܘܐܒܕ ܠܗ ܒܝܕܥܬܟ ܕܝܠܟ ܗܘ ܐܝܢܐ ܕܡܪܥ ܕܡܛܠܬܗ ܡܝܬ ܡܫܝܚܐ 11
And through your knowledge, he who is weak perishes, the brother for whom the Messiah died.
ܘܐܢ ܗܟܢܐ ܡܤܟܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܐܚܝܟܘܢ ܘܡܩܦܚܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܬܐܪܬܗܘܢ ܡܪܥܬܐ ܒܡܫܝܚܐ ܗܘ ܡܤܟܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ 12
Thus, sinning against the brothers, and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Messiah.
ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܐܢ ܡܐܟܘܠܬܐ ܡܟܫܠܐ ܠܐܚܝ ܠܥܠܡ ܒܤܪܐ ܠܐ ܐܟܘܠ ܕܠܐ ܐܟܫܠ ܠܐܚܝ (aiōn g165) 13
Therefore, if food causes my brother to stumble, I will eat no meat forevermore, that I do not cause my brother to stumble. (aiōn g165)
