1 Corinthians 8
1 Now concerning those things that are sacrificed to idols: we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but charity builds up.
A za meso što je klato idolima znamo, jer svi razum imamo. Razum dakle nadima, a ljubav popravlja.
2 But if anyone considers himself to know anything, he does not yet know in the way that he ought to know.
Ako li ko misli da što zna, ne zna još ništa kao što treba znati.
3 For if anyone loves God, he is known by him.
A ako ko ljubi Boga, Bog ga je nauèio.
4 But as to the foods that are immolated to idols, we know that an idol in the world is nothing, and that no one is God, except One.
A za jelo idolskijeh žrtava, znamo da idol nije ništa na svijetu, i da nema drugoga Boga osim jedinoga.
5 For although there are things that are called gods, whether in heaven or on earth, (if one even considers there to be many gods and many lords)
Jer ako i ima koji se bogovi zovu, ili na nebu ili na zemlji, kao što ima mnogo bogova i mnogo gospoda:
6 yet we know that there is only one God, the Father, from whom all things are, and in whom we are, and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom all things are, and by whom we are.
Ali mi imamo samo jednoga Boga oca, od kojega je sve, i mi u njemu, i jednoga Gospoda Isusa Hrista, kroz kojega je sve, i mi kroza nj.
7 But knowledge is not in everyone. For some persons, even now, with consent to an idol, eat what has been sacrificed to an idol. And their conscience, being infirm, becomes polluted.
Ali nema svatko razuma; jer neki koji još i sad misle da su idoli nešto, kao idolske žrtve jedu, i savjest njihova, slaba buduæi, pogani se.
8 Yet food does not commend us to God. For if we eat, we will not have more, and if we do not eat, we will not have less.
Ali jelo nas ne postavlja pred Bogom: jer niti æemo biti veæi ako jedemo, ni manji ako ne jedemo.
9 But be careful not to let your liberty become a cause of sin to those who are weak.
Ali se èuvajte da kako ova sloboda vaša ne postane spoticanje slabima.
10 For if anyone sees someone with knowledge sitting down to eat in idolatry, will not his own conscience, being infirm, be emboldened to eat what has been sacrificed to idols?
Jer ako tebe, koji imaš razum, vidi ko u idolskoj crkvi gdje sjediš za trpezom, neæe li njegova savjest, slaba buduæi, osloboditi se da jede idolske žrtve?
11 And should an infirm brother perish by your knowledge, even though Christ died for him?
I s tvoga razuma poginuæe slabi brat, za kojega Hristos umrije.
12 So when you sin in this way against the brothers, and you harm their weakened conscience, then you sin against Christ.
Tako kad se griješite o braæu, i bijete njihovu slabu savjest, o Hrista se griješite.
