1 Korinæanima 8
1 A za meso što je klato idolima znamo, jer svi razum imamo. Razum dakle nadima, a ljubav popravlja.
Now concerning things sacrificed to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.
2 Ako li ko misli da što zna, ne zna još ništa kao što treba znati.
But if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he does not yet know as he ought to know.
3 A ako ko ljubi Boga, Bog ga je nauèio.
But if anyone loves God, the same is known by him.
4 A za jelo idolskijeh žrtava, znamo da idol nije ništa na svijetu, i da nema drugoga Boga osim jedinoga.
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.
5 Jer ako i ima koji se bogovi zovu, ili na nebu ili na zemlji, kao što ima mnogo bogova i mnogo gospoda:
For though there are things that are called "gods," whether in the heavens or on earth; as there are many "gods" and many "lords;"
6 Ali mi imamo samo jednoga Boga oca, od kojega je sve, i mi u njemu, i jednoga Gospoda Isusa Hrista, kroz kojega je sve, i mi kroza nj.
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.
7 Ali nema svatko razuma; jer neki koji još i sad misle da su idoli nešto, kao idolske žrtve jedu, i savjest njihova, slaba buduæi, pogani se.
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.
8 Ali jelo nas ne postavlja pred Bogom: jer niti æemo biti veæi ako jedemo, ni manji ako ne jedemo.
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.
9 Ali se èuvajte da kako ova sloboda vaša ne postane spoticanje slabima.
But be careful that by no means does this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to the weak.
10 Jer ako tebe, koji imaš razum, vidi ko u idolskoj crkvi gdje sjediš za trpezom, neæe li njegova savjest, slaba buduæi, osloboditi se da jede idolske žrtve?
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?
11 I s tvoga razuma poginuæe slabi brat, za kojega Hristos umrije.
And through your knowledge, he who is weak perishes, the brother for whom the Christ died.
12 Tako kad se griješite o braæu, i bijete njihovu slabu savjest, o Hrista se griješite.
Thus, sinning against the brothers, and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ.
