¹ Now, concerning the idol-sacrifices, we are aware - because we, all, have knowledge, - knowledge, puffeth up, but, love, buildeth up;² If anyone thinketh that he knoweth anything, not yet knoweth he, as he must needs come to know,³ But, if anyone loveth God, the same, is known of him -

⁴ Concerning, then, the eating of idol-sacrifices, we are aware - that an idol is, nothing, in the world, and that, none, is God save one.⁵ For, if indeed there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or upon earth, - as indeed 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, through him.

⁷ Howbeit, not in all, is the knowledge; but, some, by their familiarity, until even now, with the idol, as an idol-sacrifice, eat it, and, their conscience, being, weak, is defiled.⁸ Food, indeed, will not commend us unto God, - neither, if we eat not, do we lack, nor, if we eat, do we abound.⁹ But be taking heed, lest, by any means, your right, itself, become, an occasion of stumbling, unto the weak;¹⁰ For, if anyone should see theewho hast knowledge, in an idol-temple, reclining, will not, his conscience, being, weak, be built up for the eating of the idol-sacrifices?¹¹ In fact, he that is weak, is being destroyed, by thy knowledge - the brother for whose sake Christ died.¹² But, in thus sinning against the brethren am wounding their conscience, seeing it is weak, against Christ, are ye sinning.¹³ Therefore, if food is an occasion of stumbling unto my brother, in nowise will I eat flesh unto the age that abideth, - that, I may not occasion, my brother, to stumble.
