Now
as
touching
things
offered
unto
idols,
we
know
that
we
all
have
knowledge.
Knowledge
puffeth
up,
but
charity
edifieth.
2
And
if
any
man
think
that
he
knoweth
any
thing,
he
knoweth
nothing
yet
as
he
ought
to
know.
3
But
if
any
man
love
God,
the
same
is
known
of
him.
4
As
concerning
therefore
the
eating
of
those
things
that
are
offered
in
sacrifice
unto
idols,
we
know
that
an
idol
[is]
nothing
in
the
world,
and
that
[there
is]
none
other
God
but
one.
5
For
though
there
be
that
are
called
gods,
whether
in
heaven
or
in
earth,
(as
there
be
gods
many,
and
lords
many,)
6
But
to
us
[there
is
but]
one
God,
the
Father,
of
whom
[are]
all
things,
and
we
in
him;
and
one
Lord
Jesus
Christ,
by
whom
[are]
all
things,
and
we
by
him.
7
Howbeit
[there
is]
not
in
every
man
that
knowledge:
for
some
with
conscience
of
the
idol
unto
this
hour
eat
[it]
as
a
thing
offered
unto
an
idol;
and
their
conscience
being
weak
is
defiled.
8
But
meat
commendeth
us
not
to
God:
for
neither,
if
we
eat,
are
we
the
better;
neither,
if
we
eat
not,
are
we
the
worse.
9
But
take
heed
lest
by
any
means
this
liberty
of
yours
become
a
stumblingblock
to
them
that
are
weak.
10
For
if
any
man
see
thee
which
hast
knowledge
sit
at
meat
in
the
idol’s
temple,
shall
not
the
conscience
of
him
which
is
weak
be
emboldened
to
eat
those
things
which
are
offered
to
idols;
11
And
through
thy
knowledge
shall
the
weak
brother
perish,
for
whom
Christ
died?
12
But
when
ye
sin
so
against
the
brethren,
and
wound
their
weak
conscience,
ye
sin
against
Christ.
13
Wherefore,
if
meat
make
my
brother
to
offend,
I
will
eat
no
flesh
while
the
world
standeth,
lest
I
make
my
brother
to
offend.
