¹ Now concerning things sacrificed to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love edifies.² If any man thinks that he knows anything, he doesn't know yet as he ought to know;³ but if any man loves God, the same is known by him.

⁴ Concerning therefore the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that no idol is [anything] in the world, and that there is no God but one.⁵ For though there are those that are called gods, whether in heaven or on earth; as there are many gods, and many lords;⁶ yet to us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we to him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we through him.

⁷ Nevertheless there is not in all men that knowledge: but some, being used until now to the idol, eat as [of] a thing sacrificed to an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled.⁸ But food will not commend us to God: neither, if we don't eat, are we the worse; nor, if we eat, are we the better.⁹ But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to the weak.¹⁰ For if a man sees you who has knowledge sitting at meat in an idol's temple, will not his conscience, if he is weak, be emboldened to eat things sacrificed to idols?¹¹ For through your knowledge he that is weak perishes, the brother for whose sake Christ died.¹² And thus, sinning against the brothers, and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ.¹³ Therefore, if meat causes my brother to stumble, I will eat no flesh for evermore, that I do not cause my brother to stumble.
