1 But concerning things sacrificed to idols, we know, (for we all have knowledge: knowledge puffs up, but love edifies.
2 If any one think he knows anything, he knows nothing yet as he ought to know {it}.
3 But if any one love God, *he* is known of him):
4 -concerning then the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that an idol {is} nothing in {the} world, and that there {is} no other God save one.
5 For and if indeed there are {those} called gods, whether in heaven or on earth, (as there are gods many, and lords many,)
6 yet to us {there is} one God, the Father, of whom all things, and *we* for him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, by whom {are} all things, and *we* by him.
7 But knowledge {is} not in all: but some, with conscience of the idol, until now eat as of a thing sacrificed to idols; and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.
8 But meat does not commend us to God; neither if we should not eat do we come short; nor if we should eat have we an advantage.
9 But see lest anywise this your right {to eat} itself be a stumbling-block to the weak.
10 For if any one see thee, who hast knowledge, sitting at table in an idol-house, shall not his conscience, he being weak, be emboldened to eat the things sacrificed to the idol?
11 and the weak {one}, the brother for whose sake Christ died, will perish through thy knowledge.
12 Now, thus sinning against the brethren, and wounding their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ.
13 Wherefore if meat be a fall-trap to my brother, I will eat no flesh for ever, that I may not be a fall-trap to my brother.
1 关于祭过偶像的食物， 我们晓得我们都有知识。但知识会使人自高自大， 唯有爱心能造就人。
2 如果有人自以为知道些什么， 那么， 他应该知道的， 他还是不知道。
3 如果有人爱 神， 这人是 神所知道的。
4 关于吃祭过偶像的食物， 我们知道世上的偶像算不得什么， 也知道 神只有一位， 没有别的神。
5 虽然有被称为神的， 无论在天上或在地上（就如有许多的"神"许多的"主"），
6 然而我们只有一位 神， 就是父； 万物都是从他而来， 我们也为了他而活。我们也只有一位主， 就是耶稣基督； 万物都是借着他而有的， 我们也是借着他而有的。
7 不过， 这种知识不是人人都有的。有些人直到现在习惯了拜偶像的事， 因此他们吃的时候， 就把这些食物看作是真的献过给偶像的； 他们的良心既然软弱， 就被污秽了。
8 其实食物不能使我们亲近 神， 我们不吃也无损， 吃也无益。
9 然而你们要谨慎， 免得你们这自由成了软弱的人的绊脚石。
10 因为如果有人看见你这有知识的人， 在偶像的庙里吃饭， 他的良心若是软弱， 他不就放胆去吃那祭过偶像的食物吗？
11 因此， 基督已经为他死了的那软弱的弟兄， 就因你的知识而灭亡了。
12 你们这样得罪弟兄， 伤了他们软弱的良心， 就是得罪基督了。
13 所以， 如果食物使我的弟兄跌倒， 我就永远不再吃肉， 免得使我的弟兄跌倒了。
