1 Corinthians 8
1 Concerning now the idol-sacrifices, we know indeed all knowledge we have. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.
Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but love edifieth.
2 If (now *k) anyone thinks (to have known *N+kO) anything, (not yet *N+kO) (no [thing] *k) (he knew *N+kO) even as it is necessary to know;
And if any man think that he knoweth anything, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know.
3 If however anyone loves God, he has known by Him.
But if any man love YHWH, the same is known of him.
4 Concerning the eating therefore of the idol-sacrifices we know that no [thing] an idol [is] in [the] world and that [there is] no God (other *k) only except one.
As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is none other Elohim but one.
5 Even truly if indeed if indeed there are [those] named gods whether in heaven or on earth, as there are gods many and lords many;
For though there be that are called mighty ones, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be mighty ones many, and masters many, )
6 yet to us [there is] one God the Father of whom [are] the [things] all and we ourselves for Him, and one Lord Jesus Christ through whom [are] the [things] all and we ourselves through Him.
But to us there is but one Elohim, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Master Yahushua the Messiah, by whom are all things, and we by him.
7 But not in all [is] this knowledge; Some now (by custom *N+KO) until now of the idol as of an idol-sacrifice eat, and the conscience of them weak being it is defiled.
Howbeit there is not in every man that knowledge: for some with conscience of the idol unto this hour eat it as a thing offered unto an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled.
8 Food however us not (will commend *N+kO) to God; neither (for *ko) if not we shall eat [still] do we come short [then] nor if we shall eat (have we an advantage. *NK+o)
But food commendeth us not to YHWH: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse.
9 do be careful however lest perhaps the right of you this an occasion of stumbling may become to those (weak. *N+kO)
But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak.
10 If for anyone shall see you who is having knowledge in an idol’s temple eating, surely the conscience of him weak being he will be encouraged the idol-sacrifices to eat?
For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol's temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols;
11 (Is destroyed *N+KO) (for *N+kO) the [one] who is being weak (through *N+kO) your knowledge, (the *no) brother for whom Christ died.
And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom the Messiah died?
12 Thus then sinning against the brothers and wounding their conscience being weak, against Christ you sin.
But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against the Messiah.
