Revised Young's Literal Translation
New Testament
| 8:1 | And concerning the things sacrificed to idols, we have known that we all have knowledge: knowledge puffs up, but love builds up; |
| 8:2 | and if any one does think to know anything, he has not yet known anything according as it behooves him to know; |
| 8:3 | and if any one does love God, this one has 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 you that has 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 you 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. |
