1 Corinthians 8
1 Now concerning things sacrificed to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.
ᎾᏃ ᏧᏓᎴᏅᏛ ᎾᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᏗᏰᎸᎯ ᏗᎵᏍᎪᎸᏓᏁᎸᎯ ᎤᎬᏩᎵ, ᎢᏗᎦᏔᎭ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏂᏗᎥ ᎠᎦᏙᎥᎯᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎢᎨᎲᎢ. ᎠᎦᏙᎥᎯᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎠᏢᏆᏍᎪᎢ, ᎠᏓᎨᏳᏗᏍᎩᏂ ᎨᏒ ᎠᏓᏍᏕᎵᏍᎪᎢ.
2 But if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he doesn’t yet know as he ought to know.
ᎢᏳ ᎠᎴ ᎩᎶ ᏳᏬᎯᏳᎭ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᎠᎦᏔᎲᎢ, ᎥᏝ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᎠᎦᏙᎥᎯᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎠᏏ ᎤᎦᏙᎥᏒᎯ ᏱᎩ.
3 But anyone who loves God is known by him.
ᎢᏳᏍᎩᏂ ᎩᎶ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᏳᎨᏳᎭ, [ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ] ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᎦᏔᎰᎢ.
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.
ᎾᏃ ᎠᎩᏍᏗᏱ ᎤᎬᏩᎵ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᎠᏥᎸ ᎨᎳᏍᏗᏱ ᏗᎵᏍᎪᎸᏓᏁᎸᎯ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᏗᏰᎸᎯ, ᎢᏗᎦᏔᎭ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎠᏰᎸᎯ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᎨᏒ ᎠᏂ ᎡᎶᎯ, ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏅᏩᏓᎴ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᏁᎲᎾ ᎨᏒ, ᏌᏉ ᎤᏩᏒ.
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”—
ᎤᏂᏣᏔᏍᎩᏂᏃᏅ ᎠᏁᎭ ᎤᎾᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎨᎪᏎᎯ ᎦᎸᎶᎢ ᎠᎴ ᎡᎶᎯ, ( ᏧᏂᎶᏔᏉ ᎤᎾᏁᎳᏅᎯ, ᎠᎴ ᏧᏂᏣᏔᏉ ᎤᏂᎬᏫᏳᎯ, )
6 yet to us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for him; and one Lord, Yeshua the Messiah, through whom are all things, and we live 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.
ᎥᏝᏍᎩᏂᏃᏅ ᎾᏂᎥ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᎦᏙᎥᎯᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᏳᏁᎭ; ᎩᎶᏰᏃ ᏙᏧᎾᏓᏅᏛ ᎤᏂᎸᏉᏗᏳ ᎨᏒ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎠᏰᎸᎯ ᎪᎯ ᎨᏒ ᎢᏯᏍᏗ ᎠᎾᎵᏍᏓᏴᏗᏍᎪ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎠᏰᎸᎯ ᎠᎵᏍᎪᎸᏓᏁᎸᎯ ᏣᏂᎩᏍᎪ ᎾᏍᎩᏯᎢ; ᏚᎾᏓᏅᏛᏃ ᏗᏩᎾᎦᎳᎯᏳ ᎨᏒ ᏗᎦᏓᎭ ᏂᏙᎦᎵᏍᏗᏍᎪᎢ.
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.
ᎠᎵ ᏍᏓᏴᏗᏍᎩᏂ ᎥᏝ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎣᏏᏳ ᎢᎩᏰᎸᏗᏱ ᏱᏂᎬᏁᎭ; ᎥᏝᏰᏃ ᏱᏓᎵᏍᏓᏴᎲᏍᎦ ᎤᏟ ᎣᏏᏳ ᏱᏂᎬᏁᎰᎢ, ᎥᏝ ᎠᎴ ᏂᏓᎵᏍᏓᏴᏍᎬᎾ ᏱᎩ, ᎡᏍᎦ ᏱᏂᎬᏁᎰᎢ.
9 But be careful that by no means does this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to the weak.
ᎠᏎᏃ ᎢᏤᏯᏔᎮᏍᏗ ᏞᏍᏗ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᎨᏣᏛᏁᏗ ᎢᏥᎲ ᏗᏂᏩᎾᎦᎳ ᏧᏃᏕᏍᏗᏍᎩ ᏱᏄᎵᏍᏔᏁᏍᏗ.
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?
ᎢᏳᏰᏃ ᎩᎶ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᏱᏣᎪᎲ ᏂᎯ ᎠᎦᏙᎥᎯᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᏤᎯ ᏱᏅᎦ ᏯᎵᏍᏓᏴᎲᏍᎦ ᎠᏓᏁᎸ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎠᏰᎸᎯ ᎤᏤᎵᎦ; ᏝᏍᎪ ᎾᏍᎩ Ꮎ ᎤᏓᏅᏛ, ᎠᏩᎾᎦᎳ ᎨᏒ, ᏂᎦᎾᏰᏍᎬᎾ ᏱᏅᎦᎵᏍᏓ ᎤᎵᏍᏓᏴᏙᏗᏱ ᏧᏓᎴᏅᏛ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏗᎵᏍᎪᎸᏓᏁᎸᎯ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᏗᏰᎸᎯ;
11 And through your knowledge, he who is weak perishes, the brother for whose sake Messiah died.

12 Thus, sinning against the brothers, and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Messiah.
