Now as concerning things offered to idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth.

But if any man loveth God, the same is known by him.

Therefore as concerning the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice to idols, we know that an idol [is] nothing in the world, and that [there is] no other God but one.

Yet to us [there is but] one God, the Father, from whom [are] all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom [are] all things, and we by him.

But [there is] not in every man that knowledge: for some with conscience of the idol to this hour eat [it] as a thing offered to an idol; and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.

But food commendeth us not to God: for neither if we eat, are we the better; neither if we eat not, are we the worse.

But I have used none of these things: neither have I written these things, that it should be so done to me: for [it were] better for me to die, than that any man should make my glorying void.

For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation [of the gospel] is committed to me.

To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law.

Know ye not, that they who run in a race, all run, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.

And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they [do it] to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.

But I keep under my body, and bring [it] into subjection: lest by any means when I have preached to others, I myself should be a cast-away.

But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.

There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God [is] faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above what ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear [it].

But [I say], that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with demons.
