1 Corinthians 8 :: New American Standard Bible 1995 (NASB95)

Take Care with Your Liberty

1Co 8:1Now concerning things sacrificed to idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge [fn]makes arrogant, but love edifies.

1Co 8:2

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

1Co 8:3

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

1Co 8:4

1Co 8:4Therefore concerning the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that [fn]there is no such thing as an idol in the world, and that there is no God but one.

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 but 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

1Co 8:7However not all men have this knowledge; but some, being accustomed to the idol until now, eat food as if it were sacrificed to an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled.

1Co 8:8

1Co 8:8But food will not [fn]commend us to God; we are neither [fn]the worse if we do not eat, nor [fn]the better if we do eat.

1Co 8:9

1Co 8:9But take care that this [fn]liberty 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 strengthened to eat things sacrificed to idols?

1Co 8:11

1Co 8:11For through your knowledge he who is weak is ruined, the brother for whose sake Christ died.

1Co 8:12

1Co 8:12And so, by sinning against the brethren and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ.

1Co 8:13

1Co 8:13Therefore, if food causes my brother to stumble, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause my brother to stumble.
