1 karinthinaḥ 8

1 devaprasāde sarvveṣām asmākaṁ jñānamāste tadvayaṁ vidmaḥ| tathāpi jñānaṁ garvvaṁ janayati kintu premato niṣṭhā jāyate|

To speake of thinges dedicate vnto ydols we are sure that we all have knowledge. knowledge maketh a man swell: bnt love edifieth.

2 ataḥ kaścana yadi manyate mama jñānamāsta iti tarhi tena yādṛśaṁ jñānaṁ ceṣṭitavyaṁ tādṛśaṁ kimapi jñānamadyāpi na labdhaṁ|

If eny man thinke that he knoweth eny thinge he knoweth nothynge yet as he ought to knowe.

3 kintu ya īśvare prīyate sa īśvareṇāpi jñāyate|

But yf eny man love god the same is knowen of him.

4 devatābaliprasādabhakṣaṇe vayamidaṁ vidmo yat jaganmadhye ko'pi devo na vidyate, ekaśceśvaro dvitīyo nāstīti|

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 svarge pṛthivyāṁ vā yadyapi keṣucid īśvara iti nāmāropyate tādṛśāśca bahava īśvarā bahavaśca prabhavo vidyante

And though ther be yt are called goddes whether in heven other in erth (as ther be goddes many and lordes many)

6 tathāpyasmākamadvitīya īśvaraḥ sa pitā yasmāt sarvveṣāṁ yadarthañcāsmākaṁ sṛṣṭi rjātā, asmākañcādvitīyaḥ prabhuḥ sa yīśuḥ khrīṣṭo yena sarvvavastūnāṁ yenāsmākamapi sṛṣṭiḥ kṛtā|

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 adhikantu jñānaṁ sarvveṣāṁ nāsti yataḥ kecidadyāpi devatāṁ sammanya devaprasādamiva tad bhakṣyaṁ bhuñjate tena durbbalatayā teṣāṁ svāntāni malīmasāni bhavanti|

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 kintu bhakṣyadravyād vayam īśvareṇa grāhyā bhavāmastannahi yato bhuṅktvā vayamutkṛṣṭā na bhavāmastadvadabhuṅktvāpyapakṛṣṭā na bhavāmaḥ|

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 ato yuṣmākaṁ yā kṣamatā sā durbbalānām unmāthasvarūpā yanna bhavet tadarthaṁ sāvadhānā bhavata|

But take hede that youre libertie cause not ye weake to faule.

10 yato jñānaviśiṣṭastvaṁ yadi devālaye upaviṣṭaḥ kenāpi dṛśyase tarhi tasya durbbalasya manasi kiṁ prasādabhakṣaṇa utsāho na janiṣyate?

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 tathā sati yasya kṛte khrīṣṭo mamāra tava sa durbbalo bhrātā tava jñānāt kiṁ na vinaṁkṣyati?

And so thorow thy knowledge shall ye weake brother perisshe for whom christ dyed.

12 ityanena prakāreṇa bhrātṛṇāṁ viruddham aparādhyadbhisteṣāṁ durbbalāni manāṁsi vyāghātayadbhiśca yuṣmābhiḥ khrīṣṭasya vaiparītyenāparādhyate|

Whe ye synne so agaynst the brethren and wounde their weake consciences ye synne agaynst Christ.

13 ato hetoḥ piśitāśanaṁ yadi mama bhrātu rvighnasvarūpaṁ bhavet tarhyahaṁ yat svabhrātu rvighnajanako na bhaveyaṁ tadarthaṁ yāvajjīvanaṁ piśitaṁ na bhokṣye| (aiōn g165)

Wherfore yf meate hurt my brother I will eate no flesshe whill the worlde stondeth because I will not hurte my brother. (aiōn g165)
