Now, concerning the idol-sacrifices, we are aware - because we, all, have knowledge, - knowledge, puffeth up, but, love, buildeth up;

But, if anyone loveth God, the same, is known of him -

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.

But be taking heed, lest, by any means, your right, itself, become, an occasion of stumbling, unto the weak;

But, in thus sinning against the brethren am wounding their conscience, seeing it is weak, against Christ, are ye sinning.

If, others, of this right, over you, are partaking, should not rather, we? nevertheless, we used not this right; but, all such things, do we conceal, - lest we should cause any hindrance unto the glad message of the Christ.

For, if, by choice, this thing I am doing, I have, a reward; but, if not by choice, with a stewardship, have I been entrusted!

To them who were without law, as, without law, - not being without law to God, but lawfully subject to Christ, - that I might win them who were without law.

But, all things, am I doing, for the sake of the glad-message, that a joint-partaker thereof, I may become.

Know ye not that, they who, in a racecourse, run, all, indeed, run, - but, one, receiveth the prize? So, be running, that ye may lay hold.

But, every man who striveth in the games, in all things, useth self-control; - they, indeed, then, that a corruptible crown, they may receive; but, we, an incorruptible!

But am beating my body under, and leading it captive, lest, by any means, - unto others, having proclaimed, the contest , I myself, should be rejected.

But, in these things, they became, ensamples for us, to the end we should not be covetous of evil things, even as, they, also coveted;

But, these things, by way of type, were happening unto them, and were written with a view to our admonition, unto whom, the ends of the ages, have reached along.

Trial, hath not taken you, save such as man can bear; faithful, moreover is God, who will not suffer you to be tried above what ye are able, but will make, with the trial, also the way of escape, that ye may be able to hold out.

All things are allowable - but, not all things, are profitable, - all things are allowable - but, not all things, upbuild.

Let, no one, be seeking, what concerneth himself, but that which concerneth some one else.

But, if anyone should say unto you, - This, is, a holy sacrifice, do not eat, for that man's sake who disclosed it, and for conscience sake: -

But, conscience, I mean, not thine own, but the other's, - for why is my freedom to be judged by another's conscience?

Even as, I also, in all things do please all, not seeking my own profit, but that of the many, that they may be saved.
