1 Corinthians 8
1 Now concerning things sacrificed to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.
To speake of thinges dedicate vnto ydols we are sure that we all have knowledge. knowledge maketh a man swell: bnt love edifieth.
2 But if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he does not yet know as he ought to know.
If eny man thinke that he knoweth eny thinge he knoweth nothynge yet as he ought to knowe.
3 But if anyone loves God, the same is known by him.
But yf eny man love god the same is knowen of him.
4 Therefore concerning the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that no idol is anything in the world, and that there is no God but one.
To speake of meate dedicat vnto ydols we are sure that ther is none ydoll in the worlde and that ther is none other god but one.
5 For though there are things that are called "gods," whether in the heavens or on earth; as there are many "gods" and many "lords;"
And though ther be yt are called goddes whether in heven other in erth (as ther be goddes many and lordes many)
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 live through him.
yet vnto vs is there but one god which is the father of whom are all thinges and we in him: and one lorde Iesus Christ by whom are all thinges and we by him.
7 However, not all have this knowledge. But some, being so accustomed to idols until now, eat as of a thing sacrificed to an idol, and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.
But every man hath not knowledge. For some suppose that ther is an ydoll vntyll this houre and eate as of a thinge offered vnto ye ydole and so their consciences beynge yet weake are defyled.
8 But food will not commend us to God. For neither, if we do not eat, are we the worse; nor, if we eat, are we the better.
Meate maketh vs not acceptable to god. Nether yf we eate are we ye better. Nether yf we eate not are we the worsse.
9 But be careful that by no means does this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to the weak.
But take hede that youre libertie cause not ye weake to faule.
10 For if someone sees you who have knowledge sitting in an idol's temple, won't his conscience, if he is weak, be emboldened to eat things sacrificed to idols?
For yf some man se ye which hast knowledge sit at meate in the ydoles teple shall not the conscience of hym which is weake be boldened to eate those thinges which are offered vnto ye ydole?
11 And through your knowledge, he who is weak perishes, the brother for whom the Christ died.
And so thorow thy knowledge shall ye weake brother perisshe for whom christ dyed.
12 Thus, sinning against the brothers, and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ.
Whe ye synne so agaynst the brethren and wounde their weake consciences ye synne agaynst Christ.
