1 Corinthians 8
1 Now about the things sacrificed to idols. We know that all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.
περι δε των ειδωλοθυτων οιδαμεν οτι παντες γνωσιν εχομεν η γνωσις φυσιοι η δε αγαπη οικοδομει
2 If any man presumes to know anything, he knows nothing yet as he ought to know.
ει δε τις δοκει ειδεναι τι ουδεπω ουδεν εγνωκεν καθως δει γνωναι
3 But if any man loves God, this man is known by him.
ει δε τις αγαπα τον θεον ουτος εγνωσται υπ αυτου
4 Therefore about eating the things sacrificed to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no other God except one.
περι της βρωσεως ουν των ειδωλοθυτων οιδαμεν οτι ουδεν ειδωλον εν κοσμω και οτι ουδεις θεος ετερος ει μη εις
5 For also since there are things called gods, whether in heaven or on the earth, as there are many gods and many lords,
και γαρ ειπερ εισιν λεγομενοι θεοι ειτε εν ουρανω ειτε επι της γης ωσπερ εισιν θεοι πολλοι και κυριοι πολλοι
6 yet to us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things, and we for him, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we through him.
αλλ ημιν εις θεος ο πατηρ εξ ου τα παντα και ημεις εις αυτον και εις κυριος ιησους χριστος δι ου τα παντα και ημεις δι αυτου
7 Nevertheless the knowledge is not in all men, but some, with conscience of the idol until now, eat as sacrificed to idols, and their weak conscience is defiled.
αλλ ουκ εν πασιν η γνωσις τινες δε τη συνειδησει του ειδωλου εως αρτι ως ειδωλοθυτον εσθιουσιν και η συνειδησις αυτων ασθενης ουσα μολυνεται
8 But food does not present us to God, for neither if we eat are we ahead, nor if we do not eat are we behind.
βρωμα δε ημας ου παριστησιν τω θεω ουτε γαρ εαν φαγωμεν περισσευομεν ουτε εαν μη φαγωμεν υστερουμεθα
9 But take heed lest somehow this privilege of yours becomes a stumbling-block to those who are weak.
βλεπετε δε μηπως η εξουσια υμων αυτη προσκομμα γενηται τοις ασθενουσιν
10 For if some man sees thee, who has knowledge, dining in an idol-temple, will not his conscience, being weak, be strengthened to eat things sacrificed to idols?
εαν γαρ τις ιδη σε τον εχοντα γνωσιν εν ειδωλειω κατακειμενον ουχι η συνειδησις αυτου ασθενους οντος οικοδομηθησεται εις το τα ειδωλοθυτα εσθιειν
11 And by thy knowledge the brother, being weak, will be ruined, for whom Christ died.
και απολειται ο ασθενων αδελφος επι τη ση γνωσει δι ον χριστος απεθανεν
12 And sinning this way against the brothers, and wounding their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ.
ουτως δε αμαρτανοντες εις τους αδελφους και τυπτοντες αυτων την συνειδησιν ασθενουσαν εις χριστον αμαρτανετε
