1 Corinthians 8
1 But concerning things sacrificed to idols, we know, (for we all have knowledge: knowledge puffs up, but love edifies.
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 one think he knows anything, he knows nothing yet as he ought to know [it].
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 one love God, he is known of him):
kintu ya ii"svare priiyate sa ii"svare. naapi j naayate|
4 — concerning then the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that an idol [is] nothing in [the] world, and that there [is] no other God save one.
devataabaliprasaadabhak. sa. ne vayamida. m vidmo yat jaganmadhye ko. api devo na vidyate, eka"sce"svaro dvitiiyo naastiiti|
5 For and if indeed there are [those] called gods, whether in heaven or on earth, (as there are gods many, and lords many, )
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, of whom all things, and we for him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, by whom [are] all things, and we by 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 But knowledge [is] not in all: but some, with conscience of the idol, until now eat as of a thing sacrificed to idols; and their conscience, being weak, 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 meat does not commend us to God; neither if we should not eat do we come short; nor if we should eat have we an advantage.
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 see lest anywise this your right [to eat] itself be a stumbling-block to the weak.
ato yu. smaaka. m yaa k. samataa saa durbbalaanaam unmaathasvaruupaa yanna bhavet tadartha. m saavadhaanaa bhavata|
10 For if any one see thee, who hast knowledge, sitting at table in an idol-house, shall not his conscience, he being weak, be emboldened to eat the things sacrificed to the idol?
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 the weak [one], the brother for whose sake Christ died, will perish through thy knowledge.
tathaa sati yasya k. rte khrii. s.to mamaara tava sa durbbalo bhraataa tava j naanaat ki. m na vina. mk. syati?
12 Now, thus sinning against the brethren, 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 Wherefore if meat be a fall-trap to my brother, I will eat no flesh for ever, that I may not be a fall-trap to my brother. (aiōn g165)
