| 1st-Corinthians 8:1 | Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth. | Now as to things which have been sacrificed to idols. This is a subject which we already understand because we all have knowledge of it. Knowledge, however, tends to make people conceited; it is love that builds us up. |
| 1st-Corinthians 8:2 | And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know. | If any one imagines that he already possesses any true knowledge, he has as yet attained to no knowledge of the kind to which he ought to have attained; |
| 1st-Corinthians 8:3 | But if any man love God, the same is known of him. | but if any one loves God, that man is known by God. |
| 1st-Corinthians 8:4 | 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. | As to eating things which have been sacrificed to idols, we are fully aware that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no God but One. |
| 1st-Corinthians 8:5 | For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,) | For if so-called gods do exist, either in Heaven or on earth and in fact there are many such gods and many such lords |
| 1st-Corinthians 8:6 | 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. | yet *we* have but one God, the Father, who is the source of all things and for whose service we exist, and but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom we and all things exist. |
| 1st-Corinthians 8:7 | 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. | But all believers do not recognize these facts. Some, from force of habit in relation to the idol, even now eat idol sacrifices as such, and their consciences, being but weak, are polluted. |
| 1st-Corinthians 8:8 | 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. | It is true that a particular kind of food will not bring us into God's presence; we are neither inferior to others if we abstain from it, nor superior to them if we eat it. |
| 1st-Corinthians 8:9 | But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak. | But take care lest this liberty of yours should prove a hindrance to the progress of weak believers. |
| 1st-Corinthians 8:10 | 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; | For if any one were to see you, who know the real truth of this matter, reclining at table in an idol's temple, would not his conscience (supposing him to be a weak believer) be emboldened to eat the food which has been sacrificed to the idol? |
| 1st-Corinthians 8:11 | And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died? | Why, your knowledge becomes the ruin of the weak believer your brother, for whom Christ died! |
| 1st-Corinthians 8:12 | But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ. | Moreover when you thus sin against the brethren and wound their weak consciences, you are, in reality, sinning against Christ. |
| 1st-Corinthians 8:13 | Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend. | Therefore if what I eat causes my brother to fall, never again to the end of my days will I touch any kind of animal food, for fear I should cause my brother to fall. |
