1 Corinthians 8
1 Now concerning things sacrificed to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.
Concerning now the idol-sacrifices, we know indeed all knowledge we have. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.
2 But if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he doesn’t yet know as he ought to know.
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;
3 But anyone who loves God is known by him.
If however anyone loves God, he has known by Him.
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 other God but one.
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.
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”—
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;
6 yet to us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we live through him.
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.
7 However, that knowledge isn’t in all men. But some, with consciousness of an idol until now, eat as of a thing sacrificed to an idol, and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.
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.
8 But food will not commend us to God. For neither, if we don’t eat are we the worse, nor if we eat are we the better.
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)
9 But be careful that by no means does this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to the weak.
do be careful however lest perhaps the right of you this an occasion of stumbling may become to those (weak. *N+kO)
10 For if a man 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?
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?
11 And through your knowledge, he who is weak perishes, the brother for whose sake Christ died.
(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.
12 Thus, sinning against the brothers, and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ.
Thus then sinning against the brothers and wounding their conscience being weak, against Christ you sin.
