Verse
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
KJV
King James Version
And
concerning
the
things sacrificed
to
idols, we have
known
that we all have knowledge :
knowledge puffeth up, but love
buildeth
up;
Now
as
touching
things offered
unto
idols, we know
that we all have knowledge .
Knowledge puffeth up, but charity
edifieth.
and if any one
doth
think to
know
anything
, he hath
not
yet known
anything
according
as it
behoveth
`him'
to know ;
And if any man
think that
he
knoweth
any
thing
, he knoweth
nothing
yet as he
ought
to know .
and
if any one
doth
love God, this
one
hath
been
known by
Him.
But
if any man
love God, the
same
is
known of
him.
Concerning the eating then
of the
things sacrificed
to
idols, we have
known
that an idol `
is '
nothing in the world, and that there is no
other God except
one ;
As
concerning therefore
the eating of those
things that
are
offered
in
sacrifice
unto
idols, we know
that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is none
other God but
one .
for even
if
there are those
called gods, whether in heaven ,
whether
upon
earth --
as there are
gods many and lords many --
For though
there be
that
are called gods, whether in heaven or
in
earth ,
(
as there be
gods many ,
and lords many ,)
yet
to us `
is '
one God, the Father, of whom `
are '
the
all things, and we to
Him; and one Lord ,
Jesus Christ, through
whom `
are '
the
all things, and we through
Him ;
But
to us there
is but
one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in
him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by
whom are all things, and we by
him .
but
not in all
men
`is'
the
knowledge ,
and
certain
with conscience of the idol ,
till
now,
as a thing sacrificed
to
an idol do
eat
`it',
and their conscience ,
being weak ,
is defiled.
Howbeit
there
is
not in every
man
that
knowledge :
for
some
with conscience of the idol unto
this
hour
eat
it
as a thing offered
unto
an idol ;
and their conscience being weak is defiled.
But victuals
do
not
commend
us to God ,
for neither if we may
eat are we in
advance
; nor
if we may
not
eat, are we behind;
But meat
commendeth
us not
to God :
for neither ,
if we eat ,
are we the
better
; neither,
if we eat not
, are we the
worse.
but see,
lest this privilege
of yours
may
become a stumbling-block
to the
infirm,
But take
heed
lest by
any
means
this liberty
of your's
become a stumblingblock
to them
that
are
weak.
for if any one
may
see thee that
hast knowledge in an
idol's temple reclining
at
meat
--
shall not his
conscience --
he
being
infirm
--
be emboldened to eat the
things sacrificed
to idols ,
For if any man
see thee which
hast knowledge sit
at
meat
in the
idol's temple ,
shall not the
conscience of
him
which
is
weak
be emboldened to eat those
things which
are
offered
to idols ;
and the brother who
is
infirm
shall
perish by
thy
knowledge
, because
of
whom Christ died?
And through
thy
knowledge
shall
the weak
brother perish, for
whom Christ died?
and
thus
sinning
in
regard
to
the brethren, and smiting
their weak conscience --
in
regard
to
Christ
ye sin ;
But
when
ye
sin
so
against
the brethren, and wound
their weak conscience ,
ye sin against
Christ.
wherefore, if victuals
cause
my brother to stumble
, I may
eat no flesh --
to
the age
--
that
my brother I
may
not
cause
to stumble
.
Wherefore, if meat
make
my brother to offend
, I will
eat no flesh while
the world
standeth,
lest
I
make
my brother to offend
.
