< 1 Corinthians 8 >
1 And as touching things sacrificed vnto idols, wee knowe that wee all haue knowledge: knowledge puffeth vp, but loue edifieth.
περι δε των ειδωλοθυτων οιδαμεν οτι παντεσ γνωσιν εχομεν η γνωσισ φυσιοι η δε αγαπη οικοδομει
2 Nowe, if any man thinke that hee knoweth any thing, hee knoweth nothing yet as hee ought to knowe.
ει δε τισ δοκει ειδεναι τι ουδεπω ουδεν εγνωκεν καθωσ δει γνωναι
3 But if any man loue God, the same is knowen of him.
ει δε τισ αγαπα τον θεον ουτοσ εγνωσται υπ αυτου
4 Concerning therefore the eating of things sacrificed vnto idoles, we knowe that an idole is nothing in the worlde, and that there is none other God but one.
περι τησ βρωσεωσ ουν των ειδωλοθυτων οιδαμεν οτι ουδεν ειδωλον εν κοσμω και οτι ουδεισ θεοσ ετεροσ ει μη εισ
5 For though there bee that are called gods, whether in heauen, or in earth (as there be many gods, and many lords)
και γαρ ειπερ εισιν λεγομενοι θεοι ειτε εν ουρανω ειτε επι γησ ωσπερ εισιν θεοι πολλοι και κυριοι πολλοι
6 Yet vnto vs there is but one God, which is that Father, of whome are all things, and we in him: and one Lord Iesus Christ, by whome are all things, and we by 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 But euery man hath not that knowledge: for many hauing conscience of the idole, vntill this houre, eate as a thing sacrificed vnto the idole, and so their conscience being weake, 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 meate maketh not vs acceptable to God, for neither if we eate, haue we the more: neither if we eate not, haue we the lesse.
βρωμα δε ημασ ου παριστησιν τω θεω ουτε γαρ εαν φαγωμεν περισσευομεν ουτε εαν μη φαγωμεν υστερουμεθα
9 But take heede lest by any meanes this power of yours be an occasion of falling, to them that are weake.
βλεπετε δε μηπωσ η εξουσια υμων αυτη προσκομμα γενηται τοισ ασθενουσιν
10 For if any man see thee which hast knowledge, sit at table in the idoles temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weake, be boldened to eate those things which are sacrificed to idoles?
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 through thy knowledge shall the weake brother perish, for whome Christ died.
και απολειται ο ασθενων αδελφοσ επι τη ση γνωσει δι ον χριστοσ απεθανεν
12 Nowe when ye sinne so against the brethren, and wound their weake conscience, ye sinne against Christ.
ουτωσ δε αμαρτανοντεσ εισ τουσ αδελφουσ και τυπτοντεσ αυτων την συνειδησιν ασθενουσαν εισ χριστον αμαρτανετε
13 Wherefore if meate offende my brother, I wil eate no flesh while the world standeth, that I may not offend my brother. (aiōn )
διοπερ ει βρωμα σκανδαλιζει τον αδελφον μου ου μη φαγω κρεα εισ τον αιωνα ινα μη τον αδελφον μου σκανδαλισω (aiōn )
