Προς Κορινθιους Α΄ 8
1 περι δε των ειδωλοθυτων οιδαμεν οτι παντεσ γνωσιν εχομεν η γνωσισ φυσιοι η δε αγαπη οικοδομει
Concerning now the idol-sacrifices, we know indeed all knowledge we have. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.
2 ει δε τισ δοκει ειδεναι τι ουδεπω ουδεν εγνωκεν καθωσ δει γνωναι
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 ει δε τισ αγαπα τον θεον ουτοσ εγνωσται υπ αυτου
If however anyone loves God, he has known by Him.
4 περι τησ βρωσεωσ ουν των ειδωλοθυτων οιδαμεν οτι ουδεν ειδωλον εν κοσμω και οτι ουδεισ θεοσ ετεροσ ει μη εισ
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 και γαρ ειπερ εισιν λεγομενοι θεοι ειτε εν ουρανω ειτε επι γησ ωσπερ εισιν θεοι πολλοι και κυριοι πολλοι
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 αλλ ημιν εισ θεοσ ο πατηρ εξ ου τα παντα και ημεισ εισ αυτον και εισ κυριοσ ιησουσ χριστοσ δι ου τα παντα και ημεισ δι αυτου
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 αλλ ουκ εν πασιν η γνωσισ τινεσ δε τη συνειδησει του ειδωλου εωσ αρτι ωσ ειδωλοθυτον εσθιουσιν και η συνειδησισ αυτων ασθενησ ουσα μολυνεται
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 βρωμα δε ημασ ου παριστησιν τω θεω ουτε γαρ εαν φαγωμεν περισσευομεν ουτε εαν μη φαγωμεν υστερουμεθα
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 βλεπετε δε μηπωσ η εξουσια υμων αυτη προσκομμα γενηται τοισ ασθενουσιν
do be careful however lest perhaps the right of you this an occasion of stumbling may become to those (weak. *N+kO)
10 εαν γαρ τισ ιδη σε τον εχοντα γνωσιν εν ειδωλειω κατακειμενον ουχι η συνειδησισ αυτου ασθενουσ οντοσ οικοδομηθησεται εισ το τα ειδωλοθυτα εσθιειν
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 και απολειται ο ασθενων αδελφοσ επι τη ση γνωσει δι ον χριστοσ απεθανεν
(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 ουτωσ δε αμαρτανοντεσ εισ τουσ αδελφουσ και τυπτοντεσ αυτων την συνειδησιν ασθενουσαν εισ χριστον αμαρτανετε
Thus then sinning against the brothers and wounding their conscience being weak, against Christ you sin.
