8:1 Now 1161 as touching 4012 things offered unto idols 1494, we know 1492 5758 that 3754 we all 3956 have 2192 5719 knowledge 1108. Knowledge 1108 puffeth up 5448 5719, but 1161 charity 26 edifieth 3618 5719.

8:2 And 1161 if any man 1536 think 1380 5719 that he knoweth 1492 5760 any thing 5100, he knoweth 1097 5758 nothing 3762 yet 3764 as 2531 he ought 1163 5748 to know 1097 5629.

8:3 But 1161 if any man 1536 love 25 5719 God 2316, the same 3778 is known 1097 5769 of 5259 him 846.

8:4 As concerning 4012 therefore 3767 the eating 1035 of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols 1494, we know 1492 5758 that 3754 an idol 1497 [is] nothing 3762 in 1722 the world 2889, and 2532 that 3754 [there is] none 3762 other 2087 God 2316 but 1508 one 1520.

8:5 For 1063 though 1512 2532 there be 1526 5748 that are called 3004 5746 gods 2316, whether 1535 in 1722 heaven 3772 or 1535 in 1909 earth 1093, (as 5618 there be 1526 5748 gods 2316 many 4183, and 2532 lords 2962 many 4183,)

8:6 But 235 to us 2254 [there is but] one 1520 God 2316, the Father 3962, of 1537 whom 3739 [are] all things 3956, and 2532 we 2249 in 1519 him 846; and 2532 one 1520 Lord 2962 Jesus 2424 Christ 5547, by 1223 whom 3739 [are] all things 3956, and 2532 we 2249 by 1223 him 846.(in: or, for)

8:7 Howbeit 235 [there is] not 3756 in 1722 every man 3956 that knowledge 1108: for 1161 some 5100 with conscience 4893 of the idol 1497 unto 2193 this hour 737 eat 2068 5719 [it] as 5613 a thing offered unto an idol 1494; and 2532 their 846 conscience 4893 being 5607 5752 weak 772 is defiled 3435 5743.

8:8 But 1161 meat 1033 commendeth 3936 5719 us 2248 not 3756 to God 2316: for 1063 neither 3777, if 1437 we eat 5315 5632, are we the better 4052 5719; neither 3777, if 3362 0 we eat 5315 5632 not 3362, are we the worse 5302 5743.(are we the better: or, have we the more)(are we the worse: or, have we the less)

8:9 But 1161 take heed 991 5720 lest 3381 by any means 4458 this 3778 liberty 1849 of yours 5216 become 1096 5638 a stumblingblock 4348 to them that are weak 770 5723.(liberty: or, power)

8:10 For 1063 if 1437 any man 5100 see 1492 5632 thee 4571 which 3588 hast 2192 5723 knowledge 1108 sit at meat 2621 5740 in 1722 the idol's temple 1493, shall 3618 0 not 3780 the conscience 4893 of him 846 which is 5607 5752 weak 772 be emboldened 3618 5701 1519 to eat 2068 5721 those things which are offered to idols 1494;(emboldened: Gr. edified)

8:11 And 2532 through 1909 thy 4674 knowledge 1108 shall 622 0 the weak 770 5723 brother 80 perish 622 5689, for 1223 whom 3739 Christ 5547 died 599 5627?

8:12 But 1161 when ye sin 264 5723 so 3779 against 1519 the brethren 80, and 2532 wound 5180 5723 their 846 weak 770 5723 conscience 4893, ye sin 264 5719 against 1519 Christ 5547.

8:13 Wherefore 1355, if 1487 meat 1033 make 4624 0 my 3450 brother 80 to offend 4624 5719, I will eat 5315 5632 no 3364 flesh 2907 while the world standeth 1519 165, lest 3363 I make 4624 0 my 3450 brother 80 to offend 4624 5661.
