KJV_Strong : 1 Corinthians 8
1. Now[G1161] as touching[G4012] things offered unto idols,[G1494] we know[G1492] that[G3754] we all[G3956] have[G2192] knowledge.[G1108] Knowledge[G1108] puffeth up,[G5448] but[G1161] charity[G26] edifieth.[G3618]
2. And[G1161] if[G1487] any man[G5100] think[G1380] that he knoweth[G1492] any thing,[G5100] he knoweth[G1097] nothing[G3762] yet[G3764] as[G2531] he ought[G1163] to know.[G1097]
3. But[G1161] if[G1487] any man[G5100] love[G25] God,[G2316] the same[G3778] is known[G1097] of[G5259] him.[G846]
4. As concerning[G4012] therefore[G3767] the[G3588] eating[G1035] of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols,[G1494] we know[G1492] that[G3754] an idol[G1497] is nothing[G3762] in[G1722] the world,[G2889] and[G2532] that[G3754] there is none[G3762] other[G2087] God[G2316] but[G1508] one.[G1520]
5. For[G1063] though[G2532] [G1512] there be[G1526] that are called[G3004] gods,[G2316] whether[G1535] in[G1722] heaven[G3772] or[G1535] in[G1909] earth,[G1093] (as[G5618] there be[G1526] gods[G2316] many,[G4183] and[G2532] lords[G2962] many,)[G4183]
6. But[G235] to us[G2254] there is but one[G1520] God,[G2316] the[G3588] Father,[G3962] of[G1537] whom[G3739] are all things,[G3956] and[G2532] we[G2249] in[G1519] him;[G846] and[G2532] one[G1520] Lord[G2962] Jesus[G2424] Christ,[G5547] by[G1223] whom[G3739] are all things,[G3956] and[G2532] we[G2249] by[G1223] him.[G846]
7. Howbeit[G235] there is not[G3756] in[G1722] every man[G3956] that knowledge:[G1108] for[G1161] some[G5100] with conscience[G4893] of the[G3588] idol[G1497] unto[G2193] this hour[G737] eat[G2068] it as[G5613] a thing offered unto an idol;[G1494] and[G2532] their[G848] conscience[G4893] being[G5607] weak[G772] is defiled.[G3435]
8. But[G1161] meat[G1033] commendeth[G3936] us[G2248] not[G3756] to God:[G2316] for[G1063] neither,[G3777] if[G1437] we eat,[G5315] are we the better;[G4052] neither,[G3777] if[G1437] we eat[G5315] not,[G3361] are we the worse.[G5302]
9. But[G1161] take heed[G991] lest by any means[G3381] this[G3778] liberty[G1849] of yours[G5216] become[G1096] a stumblingblock[G4348] to them that are weak.[G770]
10. For[G1063] if[G1437] any man[G5100] see[G1492] thee[G4571] which hast[G2192] knowledge[G1108] sit at meat[G2621] in[G1722] the idol's temple,[G1493] shall not[G3780] the[G3588] conscience[G4893] of him[G846] which is[G5607] weak[G772] be emboldened[G3618] to eat[G2068] those things which are offered to idols;[G1494]
11. And[G2532] through[G1909] thy[G4674] knowledge[G1108] shall the[G3588] weak[G770] brother[G80] perish,[G622] for[G1223] whom[G3739] Christ[G5547] died?[G599]
12. But[G1161] when ye sin[G264] so[G3779] against[G1519] the[G3588] brethren,[G80] and[G2532] wound[G5180] their[G848] weak[G770] conscience,[G4893] ye sin[G264] against[G1519] Christ.[G5547]
13. Wherefore,[G1355] if[G1487] meat[G1033] make my brother to offend,[G4624] [G3450] [G80] I will eat[G5315] no[G3364] flesh[G2907] while the world standeth,[G1519] [G3588] [G165] lest[G3363] I make my brother to offend.[G4624] [G3450] [G80]
