1st Corinthians 哥林多前书_1Co_08
1Now about food sacrificed to idols 2: We know that we all possess knowledge. Knowledge puffs 3 up, but love builds up.
2The man who thinks he knows something does not yet know as he ought to know.
3But the man who loves God is known by God.
4So then, about eating food sacrificed to idols: We know that an idol 1 is nothing at all in the world and that there is no God but one.
5For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as indeed there are many "gods" and many "lords"),
6yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live.
7But not everyone knows this. Some people are still so accustomed to idols that when they eat such food they think of it as having been sacrificed to an idol, and since their conscience is weak, it is defiled 4.
8But food does not bring us near to God; we are no worse if we do not eat, and no better if we do.
9Be careful, however, that the exercise of your freedom does not become a stumbling block to the weak.
10For if anyone with a weak conscience sees you who have this knowledge eating in an idol's temple, won't he be emboldened 5 to eat what has been sacrificed to idols?
11So this weak brother, for whom Christ died, is destroyed by your knowledge.
12When you sin against your brothers in this way and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.
13Therefore, if what I eat causes my brother to fall into sin, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause him to fall.
