| 8:1 | And concerning the things sacrificed to idols, we have known that we all have knowledge: knowledge puffeth up, but love buildeth up; |
| 8:2 | and if any one doth think to know anything, he hath not yet known anything according as it behoveth `him' to know; |
| 8:3 | and if any one doth love God, this one hath been known by Him. |
| 8:4 | Concerning the eating then of the things sacrificed to idols, we have known that an idol `is' nothing in the world, and that there is no other God except one; |
| 8:5 | for even if there are those called gods, whether in heaven, whether upon earth -- as there are gods many and lords many -- |
| 8:6 | yet to us `is' one God, the Father, of whom `are' the all things, and we to Him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom `are' the all things, and we through Him; |
| 8:7 | but not in all men `is' the knowledge, and certain with conscience of the idol, till now, as a thing sacrificed to an idol do eat `it', and their conscience, being weak, is defiled. |
| 8:8 | But victuals do not commend us to God, for neither if we may eat are we in advance; nor if we may not eat, are we behind; |
| 8:9 | but see, lest this privilege of yours may become a stumbling-block to the infirm, |
| 8:10 | for if any one may see thee that hast knowledge in an idol's temple reclining at meat -- shall not his conscience -- he being infirm -- be emboldened to eat the things sacrificed to idols, |
| 8:11 | and the brother who is infirm shall perish by thy knowledge, because of whom Christ died? |
| 8:12 | and thus sinning in regard to the brethren, and smiting their weak conscience -- in regard to Christ ye sin; |
| 8:13 | wherefore, if victuals cause my brother to stumble, I may eat no flesh -- to the age -- that my brother I may not cause to stumble. |
| 8:1 | To speake of thinges dedicate vnto ydols we are sure that we all have knowledge. knowledge maketh a man swell: bnt love edifieth. |
| 8:2 | If eny man thinke that he knoweth eny thinge he knoweth nothynge yet as he ought to knowe. |
| 8:3 | But yf eny man love god the same is knowen of him. |
| 8:4 | To speake of meate dedicat vnto ydols we are sure that ther is none ydoll in the worlde and that ther is none other god but one. |
| 8:5 | And though ther be yt are called goddes whether in heven other in erth (as ther be goddes many and lordes many) |
| 8:6 | yet vnto vs is there but one god which is the father of whom are all thinges and we in him: and one lorde Iesus Christ by whom are all thinges and we by him. |
| 8:7 | But every man hath not knowledge. For some suppose that ther is an ydoll vntyll this houre and eate as of a thinge offered vnto ye ydole and so their consciences beynge yet weake are defyled. |
| 8:8 | Meate maketh vs not acceptable to god. Nether yf we eate are we ye better. Nether yf we eate not are we the worsse. |
| 8:9 | But take hede that youre libertie cause not ye weake to faule. |
| 8:10 | For yf some man se ye which hast knowledge sit at meate in the ydoles teple shall not the conscience of hym which is weake be boldened to eate those thinges which are offered vnto ye ydole? |
| 8:11 | And so thorow thy knowledge shall ye weake brother perisshe for whom christ dyed. |
| 8:12 | Whe ye synne so agaynst the brethren and wounde their weake consciences ye synne agaynst Christ. |
| 8:13 | Wherfore yf meate hurt my brother I will eate no flesshe whill the worlde stondeth because I will not hurte my brother. |
| 8:1 | As touchinge thinges offred vnto Idols we are sure yt we all haue knowlege. Knowlege puffeth a ma vp, but loue edifyeth. |
| 8:2 | Neuertheles yf eny ma thinke yt he knoweth eny thinge, he knoweth not yet how he oughte to knowe. |
| 8:3 | But yf eny man loue God, the same is knowne of him. |
| 8:4 | So are we sure now cocernynge the meates offred vnto Idols, that an Idoll is nothinge in the worlde, and that there is none other God but one. |
| 8:5 | And though there be that are called goddes, whether in heauen or in earth (as there be goddes many and lordes many) |
| 8:6 | yet haue we but one God, euen the father, of who are all thinges, and we in him & one LORDE Iesus Christ, by who are all thinges, and we by him. |
| 8:7 | But euery man hath not knowlege: for some make yet consciece ouer the Idoll, and eate it as a thinge offred vnto Idols: and so their conscience beynge weake, is defyled. |
| 8:8 | Neuertheles meate furthureth not vs vnto God. Yf we eate, we shal not therfore be the better: yf we eate not, we shal not therfore be the lesse. |
| 8:9 | But take hede that this youre liberty be not an occasion of fallynge vnto ye weake. |
| 8:10 | For yf eny man se the (which hast knowlege) syt at the table in the Idols house, shal not his conscience whyle it is weake, be occasioned to eate of the Idoll offeringes? |
| 8:11 | And so thorow thy knowlege shal the weake brother perishe, for who Christ dyed. |
| 8:12 | But whan ye synne so agaynst the brethren, and wounde their weake coscience, ye synne agaynst Christ. |
| 8:13 | Wherfore yf meate offende my brother, I wyl neuer eate flesh, lest I offende my brother. |
