<span class="verse" id="V1">1 </span>Now concerning things sacrificed to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up. <span class="verse" id="V2">2 </span>But if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he doesn’t yet know as he ought to know. <span class="verse" id="V3">3 </span>But if anyone loves God, the same is known by him. <span class="verse" id="V4">4 </span>Therefore concerning the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that no idol is anything in the world, and that there is no other God but one. <span class="verse" id="V5">5 </span>For though there are things that are called “gods”, whether in the heavens or on earth; as there are many “gods” and many “lords”; <span class="verse" id="V6">6 </span>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 live through him. <span class="verse" id="V7">7 </span>However, that knowledge isn’t in all men. But some, with consciousness of the idol until now, eat as of a thing sacrificed to an idol, and their conscience, being weak, is defiled. <span class="verse" id="V8">8 </span>But food will not commend us to God. For neither, if we don’t eat, are we the worse; nor, if we eat, are we the better. <span class="verse" id="V9">9 </span>But be careful that by no means does this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to the weak. <span class="verse" id="V10">10 </span>For if a man sees you who have knowledge sitting in an idol’s temple, won’t his conscience, if he is weak, be emboldened to eat things sacrificed to idols? <span class="verse" id="V11">11 </span>And through your knowledge, he who is weak perishes, the brother for whose sake Christ died. <span class="verse" id="V12">12 </span>Thus, sinning against the brothers, and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ. <span class="verse" id="V13">13 </span>Therefore if food causes my brother to stumble, I will eat no meat forever more, that I don’t cause my brother to stumble. </div><ul class='tnav'>
