| 1st-Corinthians 8:1 | But concerning things sacrificed to idols, we know, (for we all have knowledge: knowledge puffs up, but love edifies. | Now about things offered to images: we all seem to ourselves to have knowledge. Knowledge gives pride, but love gives true strength. |
| 1st-Corinthians 8:2 | If any one think he knows anything, he knows nothing yet as he ought to know [it]. | If anyone seems to himself to have knowledge, so far he has not the right sort of knowledge about anything; |
| 1st-Corinthians 8:3 | But if any one love God, *he* is known of him): | But if anyone has love for God, God has knowledge of him. |
| 1st-Corinthians 8:4 | concerning then the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that an idol [is] nothing in [the] world, and that there [is] no other God save one. | So, then, as to the question of taking food offered to images, we are certain that an image is nothing in the world, and that there is no God but one. |
| 1st-Corinthians 8:5 | For and if indeed there are [those] called gods, whether in heaven or on earth, (as there are gods many, and lords many,) | For though there are those who have the name of gods, in heaven or on earth, as there are a number of gods and a number of lords, |
| 1st-Corinthians 8:6 | yet to us [there is] one God, the Father, of whom all things, and *we* for him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, by whom [are] all things, and *we* by him. | There is for us only one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we are for him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we have our being through him. |
| 1st-Corinthians 8:7 | But knowledge [is] not in all: but some, with conscience of the idol, until now eat as of a thing sacrificed to idols; and their conscience, being weak, is defiled. | Still, all men have not that knowledge: but some, being used till now to the image, are conscious that they are taking food which has been offered to the image; and because they are not strong in the faith, their minds are troubled. |
| 1st-Corinthians 8:8 | But meat does not commend us to God; neither if we should not eat do we come short; nor if we should eat have we an advantage. | But God's approval of us is not based on the food we take: if we do not take it we are no worse for it; and if we take it we are no better. |
| 1st-Corinthians 8:9 | But see lest anywise this your right [to eat] itself be a stumbling-block to the weak. | But take care that this power of yours does not give cause for trouble to the feeble. |
| 1st-Corinthians 8:10 | For if any one see thee, who hast knowledge, sitting at table in an idol-house, shall not his conscience, he being weak, be emboldened to eat the things sacrificed to the idol? | For if a man sees you, who have knowledge, taking food as a guest in the house of an image, will it not give him, if he is feeble, the idea that he may take food offered to images? |
| 1st-Corinthians 8:11 | and the weak [one], the brother for whose sake Christ died, will perish through thy knowledge. | And so, through your knowledge, you are the cause of destruction to your brother, for whom Christ underwent death. |
| 1st-Corinthians 8:12 | Now, thus sinning against the brethren, and wounding their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ. | And in this way, doing evil to the brothers, and causing trouble to those whose faith is feeble, you are sinning against Christ. |
| 1st-Corinthians 8:13 | Wherefore if meat be a fall-trap to my brother, I will eat no flesh for ever, that I may not be a fall-trap to my brother. | For this reason, if food is a cause of trouble to my brother, I will give up taking meat for ever, so that I may not be a cause of trouble to my brother. |
