1 Corinthians 8

1 Now about the things sacrificed to idols. We know that all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.

devaprasaade sarvve. saam asmaaka. m j naanamaaste tadvaya. m vidma. h| tathaapi j naana. m garvva. m janayati kintu premato ni. s.thaa jaayate|

2 If any man presumes to know anything, he knows nothing yet as he ought to know.

ata. h ka"scana yadi manyate mama j naanamaasta iti tarhi tena yaad. r"sa. m j naana. m ce. s.titavya. m taad. r"sa. m kimapi j naanamadyaapi na labdha. m|

3 But if any man loves God, this man is known by him.

kintu ya ii"svare priiyate sa ii"svare. naapi j naayate|

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.

devataabaliprasaadabhak. sa. ne vayamida. m vidmo yat jaganmadhye ko. api devo na vidyate, eka"sce"svaro dvitiiyo naastiiti|

5 For also since there are things called gods, whether in heaven or on the earth, as there are many gods and many lords,

svarge p. rthivyaa. m vaa yadyapi ke. sucid ii"svara iti naamaaropyate taad. r"saa"sca bahava ii"svaraa bahava"sca prabhavo vidyante

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.

tathaapyasmaakamadvitiiya ii"svara. h sa pitaa yasmaat sarvve. saa. m yadartha ncaasmaaka. m s. r.s. ti rjaataa, asmaaka ncaadvitiiya. h prabhu. h sa yii"su. h khrii. s.to yena sarvvavastuunaa. m yenaasmaakamapi s. r.s. ti. h k. rtaa|

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.

adhikantu j naana. m sarvve. saa. m naasti yata. h kecidadyaapi devataa. m sammanya devaprasaadamiva tad bhak. sya. m bhu njate tena durbbalatayaa te. saa. m svaantaani maliimasaani bhavanti|

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.

kintu bhak. syadravyaad vayam ii"svare. na graahyaa bhavaamastannahi yato bhu"nktvaa vayamutk. r.s. taa na bhavaamastadvadabhu"nktvaapyapak. r.s. taa na bhavaama. h|

9 But take heed lest somehow this privilege of yours becomes a stumbling-block to those who are weak.

ato yu. smaaka. m yaa k. samataa saa durbbalaanaam unmaathasvaruupaa yanna bhavet tadartha. m saavadhaanaa bhavata|

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?

yato j naanavi"si. s.tastva. m yadi devaalaye upavi. s.ta. h kenaapi d. r"syase tarhi tasya durbbalasya manasi ki. m prasaadabhak. sa. na utsaaho na jani. syate?

11 And by thy knowledge the brother, being weak, will be ruined, for whom Christ died.

tathaa sati yasya k. rte khrii. s.to mamaara tava sa durbbalo bhraataa tava j naanaat ki. m na vina. mk. syati?

12 And sinning this way against the brothers, and wounding their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ.

ityanena prakaare. na bhraat. r.naa. m viruddham aparaadhyadbhiste. saa. m durbbalaani manaa. msi vyaaghaatayadbhi"sca yu. smaabhi. h khrii. s.tasya vaipariityenaaparaadhyate|

13 Therefore if food causes my brother to stumble, I will no, not eat meat into the age, so that I may not cause my brother to stumble. (aiōn g165)
