1 Corinthians 8
1 Now concerning things sacrificed to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.
论到祭偶像之物，我们晓得我们都有知识。但知识是叫人自高自大，惟有爱心能造就人。
2 But if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he doesn’t yet know as he ought to know.
若有人以为自己知道什么，按他所当知道的，他仍是不知道。
3 But anyone who loves God is known by him.
若有人爱 神，这人乃是 神所知道的。
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 other God but one.
论到吃祭偶像之物，我们知道偶像在世上算不得什么，也知道 神只有一位，再没有别的 神。
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”—
虽有称为神的，或在天，或在地，就如那许多的神，许多的主；
6 yet to us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we live through him.
然而我们只有一位 神，就是父—万物都本于他；我们也归于他—并有一位主，就是耶稣基督—万物都是借着他有的；我们也是借着他有的。
7 However, that knowledge isn’t in all men. But some, with consciousness of an idol until now, eat as of a thing sacrificed to an idol, and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.
但人不都有这等知识。有人到如今因拜惯了偶像，就以为所吃的是祭偶像之物。他们的良心既然软弱，也就污秽了。
8 But food will not commend us to God. For neither, if we don’t eat are we the worse, nor if we eat are we the better.
其实食物不能叫 神看中我们，因为我们不吃也无损，吃也无益。
9 But be careful that by no means does this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to the weak.
只是你们要谨慎，恐怕你们这自由竟成了那软弱人的绊脚石。
10 For if a man 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?
若有人见你这有知识的，在偶像的庙里坐席，这人的良心若是软弱，岂不放胆去吃那祭偶像之物吗？
11 And through your knowledge, he who is weak perishes, the brother for whose sake Christ died.
因此，基督为他死的那软弱弟兄，也就因你的知识沉沦了。
12 Thus, sinning against the brothers, and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ.
你们这样得罪弟兄们，伤了他们软弱的良心，就是得罪基督。
