1 Korinčanom 8
1 Torej glede stvari, darovanih malikom, vemo, da imamo vsi spoznanje. Spoznanje napihuje, toda ljubezen izgrajuje.
NOW concerning the things sacrificed to idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but love edifieth.
2 In če katerikoli človek misli, da karkoli pozna, še nič ne pozna, kakor bi moral poznati.
But if any man conceit that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know.
3 Toda če katerikoli človek ljubi Boga, isti je spoznan od njega.
But if any man love God, the same is known of him.
4 Kar torej zadeva uživanje tistih stvari, ki so darovane v žrtvovanje malikom, vemo, da v svetu malik ni nič in da ne obstaja drug Bog razen enega.
Now concerning eating things sacrificed unto idols: we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no other God but one.
5 Kajti čeprav obstajajo ti, ki se imenujejo bogovi, bodisi na nebu ali na zemlji (kakor obstaja mnogo bogov in mnogo gospodov),
For though there are gods so called, whether celestial or terrestrial, (as of this sort there are gods many, and lords many; )
6 toda za nas ni drugega razen enega Boga, Očeta, od katerega so vse stvari in mi v njem; in en Gospod Jezus Kristus, po katerem so vse stvari in mi po njem.
but to us there is one God, the Father; of whom are all things, and we for him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.
7 Vendar to spoznanje ne obstaja v vsakem človeku; kajti nekateri z vestjo malikov do te ure to jedo kot stvar, darovano maliku; in njihova slabotna vest je omadeževana.
Howbeit there is not in all men this knowledge; but some having conscientious respect for the idol to this moment, eat the meat as sacrificed to the idol; and their conscience being weak, is defiled.
8 Toda jed nas ne približa Bogu; kajti niti če jemo, nismo boljši; niti če ne jemo, nismo slabši.
But meat commendeth us not to God: for neither if we eat are we the better, or if we eat not are we the worse.
9 Toda pazite, da ne bi na kakršenkoli način ta vaša svoboda postala kamen spotike tem, ki so slabotni.
But take heed that this power of yours become not an occasion of stumbling to the weak.
10 Kajti če te katerikoli človek, ki ima spoznanje, vidi v templju malikov sedeti pri jedi, ali ne bo njegova vest, ki je slabotna, postala ohrabrena, da jé te stvari, ki so darovane malikom;
For if any man see thee that hast knowledge, sitting in an idol’s temple, shall not the conscience of him who is weak be emboldened to eat what is sacrificed to idols?
11 in zaradi tvojega spoznanja bo propadel slaboten brat, za katerega je Kristus umrl?
And the weak brother will be destroyed by thy knowledge, for whom Christ died.
12 Toda kadar tako grešite proti bratom in prizadenete njihovo slabotno vest, grešite zoper Kristusa.
But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ.
