Book 46 : 1 CORINTHIANS - Chapter 008
008:001
And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth
nothing yet as he ought to know
008:002
But if any man love God, the same is known of him
008:003
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 God but
one
008:004
For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or
in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,
008:005
But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all
things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are
all things, and we by him
008:006
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
008:007
But meat commendeth us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are
we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse
008:008
But take heed lest by any means this liberty of your's become
a stumblingblock to them that are weak
008:009
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
008:010
And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for
whom Christ died
008:011
But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak
conscience, ye sin against Christ
008:012
Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no
flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to
offend
