1 Corinthians    -08    Food

1

But concerning the sacrifices to idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love edifies. 1 Corinthians 8:1

     

2

And if any man thinks that he knows anything, he knows nothing yet as he ought to know. 1 Corinthians 8:2

     

3

But if any one loves God, he has been known of him. 1 Corinthians 8:3

     

4

Then concerning the eating of the things sacrificed to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no other God except one. 1 Corinthians 8:4

     

5

For though there are those who are called gods, whether in Heaven or in earth (as there are many gods and many lords), 1 Corinthians 8:5

     

6

but there is to us only one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we by Him. 1 Corinthians 8:6

     

7

But this knowledge is not in all. But some being aware of the idol eat as an idolatrous sacrifice until now, and their conscience being weak is defiled. 1 Corinthians 8:7

     

8

But food does not commend us to God. For neither if we eat are we the better, nor if we do not eat are we the worse. 1 Corinthians 8:8

     

9

But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours becomes a stumbling block to those who are weak. 1 Corinthians 8:9

     

10

For if anyone sees you who have knowledge sitting in an idol temple, will not the weak one's conscience be lifted up so as to eat things sacrificed to idols? 1 Corinthians 8:10

     

11

And on your knowledge the weak brother will fall, he for whom Christ died. 1 Corinthians 8:11

     

12

And sinning in this way against your brothers, and wounding their conscience, being weak, you sin against Christ. 1 Corinthians 8:12

     

13

Therefore, if food offends my brother, I will eat no flesh forever, that I do not offend my brother. 1 Corinthians 8:13
