Now^G1161 concerning^G4012 things^G1494 sacrificed^G1494 to^G1494 idols^G1494, we know^G6063 that we all^G3956 have^G2192 knowledge^G1108. Knowledge^G1108 puffs^G5448 up^G5448, but love^G26 builds^G3618 up^G3618.

1Co 8:2

1Co 8:2If anyone thinks that he has known anything, he has not yet known as he ought to know;

1Co 8:3

1Co 8:3but if anyone loves God, he has been known by Him.

1Co 8:4

Therefore^G3767, concerning^G4012 the eating^G1035 of things^G1494 sacrificed^G1494 to^G1494 idols^G1494, we know^G6063 that [fn]an idol^G1497 is nothing^G3762 in the world^G2889, and that there is no^G3762 God^G2316 but one^G1520.

1Co 8:5

1Co 8:5For even if there are so-called gods whether in heaven or on earth, as indeed there are many gods and many lords,

1Co 8:6

1Co 8:6yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and we exist for Him, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we exist through Him.

1Co 8:7

However^G235, not all^G3956 men^G3956 have this^G3588 knowledge^G1108; but some^G5100, being accustomed^G4914 to the idol^G1497 until^G2193 now^G737, eat^G2068 food as if^G5613 it were sacrificed^G1494 to an idol^G1494; and their conscience^G4893, being^G1510 weak^G772, is defiled^G3435.

1Co 8:8

1Co 8:8But food will not [fn]commend us to God. We neither lack if we do not eat, nor abound if we do eat.

1Co 8:9

1Co 8:9But see to it that this [fn]authority of yours does not somehow become a stumbling block to the weak.

1Co 8:10

1Co 8:10For if someone sees you, who have knowledge, dining in an idol’s temple, will not his conscience, if he is weak, be built up to eat things sacrificed to idols?

1Co 8:11
