| 1 | Now concerning things offered to idols we know, (because all the knowledge we have, the knowledge inflates, but love builds. |
| 2 | If one supposes to have known anything, not yet does he know according as there is need to know. |
| 3 | But if one loves Yahweh, this he knows by Him.) |
| 4 | Concerning then the eating of things offered to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the Society, and that there is none other God except one. |
| 5 | And even though there are so-called gods, either in heaven or on earth, just as there are many gods and many lords, |
| 6 | but to us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things, and we for Him; and one Prince, Yahshua Christ, through whom are all things, and we through Him. |
| 7 | Yet not in all is that knowledge, but some in the custom of the idol until this time are nevertheless eating of that offered to an idol, and their conscience being weak is defiled. |
| 8 | But food does not bring us to terms with Yahweh; neither do we have an advantage if we would eat, nor do we come short if we would not eat. |
| 9 | But beware lest in any way by your license this would become an obstacle to those who are weak. |
| 10 | For if perhaps one should see you, who having knowledge are in an idol's temple reclining at a meal, will not the conscience of him, being weak, be emboldened in regards to eating the things offered to idols? |
| 11 | Then will he who is weak be ruined by your knowledge, the brother for whose sake Christ had been slain? |
| 12 | Now in that manner, failing in regard for the brethren, and striking their weak consciences, towards Christ you fail. |
| 13 | On which account if meat offends my brother, I would not eat flesh for eternity, in order that my brother will not be offended. |
