1. KJV King James Version

   4 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. 7 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. 8 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. 9 But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak. 13 Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend.

2. NIV New International Version

   4 So then, about eating food sacrificed to idols: We know that "An idol is nothing at all in the world" and that "There is no God but one."

   7 But not everyone possesses this knowledge. Some people are still so accustomed to idols that when they eat sacrificial food they think of it as having been sacrificed to a god, and since their conscience is weak, it is defiled. 8 But food does not bring us near to God; we are no worse if we do not eat, and no better if we do.

   9 Be careful, however, that the exercise of your rights does not become a stumbling block to the weak. 13 Therefore, if what I eat causes my brother or sister to fall into sin, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause them to fall.

3. NLT New Living Translation

   4 So, what about eating meat that has been offered to idols? Well, we all know that an idol is not really a god and that there is only one God.

   7 However, not all believers know this. Some are accustomed to thinking of idols as being real, so when they eat food that has been offered to idols, they think of it as the worship of real gods, and their weak consciences are violated. 8 It’s true that we can’t win God’s approval by what we eat. We don’t lose anything if we don’t eat it, and we don’t gain anything if we do.

   9 But you must be careful so that your freedom does not cause others with a weaker conscience to stumble. 13 So if what I eat causes another believer to sin, I will never eat meat again as long as I live—for I don’t want to cause another believer to stumble.

4. NKJV Nova Versão King James

   4 Therefore concerning the eating of things offered to idols, we know that *Is. 41:24an idol is nothing in the world, *Deut. 4:35, 39; 6:4; 1 Cor. 8:6and that thereis no other God but one.

   7 However, thereis not in everyone that knowledge; for some, *(1 Cor. 10:28)with consciousness of the idol, until now eat it as a thing offered to an idol; and their conscience, being weak, is *Rom. 14:14, 22defiled. 8 But *(Rom. 14:17)food does not commend us to God; for neither if we eat are we the better, nor if we do not eat are we the worse.

   9 But *Gal. 5:13beware lest somehow this liberty of yours become *Rom. 14:13, 21; 1 Cor. 10:28a stumbling block to those who are weak. 13 Therefore, *Rom. 14:21; 1 Cor. 10:32; 2 Cor. 6:3; 11:29if food makes my brother stumble, I will never again eat meat, lest I make my brother stumble.

5. NASB New American Standard Bible 2020

   4 Therefore, concerning the eating of food sacrificed to idols, we know that an idol is *8:4 I.e., what it represents does not existnothing at all in the world, and that there is no God but one.

   7 However, not all people have this knowledge; but some, being accustomed to the idol until now, eat food as if it were sacrificed to an idol; and their conscience, being weak, is defiled. 8 Now food will not bring us *8:8 Or before Godclose to God; we are neither *8:8 Lit lackingthe worse if we do not eat, nor *8:8 Lit aboundingthe better if we do eat. 9 But take care that this *8:9 Lit rightfreedom of yours does not somehow become a stumbling block to the weak. 13 Therefore, if food causes my brother to sin, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause my brother to sin.

6. CSB Christian Standard Bible

   4 About eating food sacrificed to idols, then, we know that "an idol is nothing in the world,"  * 8:4 Or an idol has no real existence and that "there is no God but one."  * 8:4 Dt 6:4

   7 However, not everyone has this knowledge. Some have been so used to idolatry up until now that when they eat food sacrificed to an idol, their conscience, being weak, is defiled. 8 Food will not bring us close to God.  * 8:8 Or bring us before (the judgment seat of) God We are not worse off if we don’t eat, and we are not better if we do eat.  * 8:8 Rm 14:179 But be careful that this right of yours in no way becomes a stumbling block  * 8:9 Ex 23:33; Rm 14:20 to the weak. 13 Therefore, if food causes my brother or sister to fall, I will never again eat meat,  * 8:13 Dt 12:15 so that I won’t cause my brother or sister to fall.

7. DRA Douay-Rheims American 1899

   4 But as for the meats that are sacrificed to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no God but one. 7 But there is not knowledge in every one. For some until this present, with conscience of the idol: eat as a thing sacrificed to an idol, and their conscience, being weak, is defiled. 8 But meat doth not commend us to God. For neither, if we eat, shall we have the more; nor, if we eat not, shall we have the less. 9 But take heed lest perhaps this your liberty become a stumblingblock to the weak. 13 Wherefore, if meat scandalize my brother, I will never eat flesh, lest I should scandalize my brother.

8. MSG The Message

   4-6 Some people say, quite rightly, that idols have no actual existence, that there’s nothing to them, that there is no God other than our one God, that no matter how many of these so-called gods are named and worshiped they still don’t add up to anything but a tall story. They say—again, quite rightly—that there is only one God the Father, that everything comes from him, and that he wants us to live for him. Also, they say that there is only one Master—Jesus the Messiah—and that everything is for his sake, including us. Yes. It’s true.

   7 In strict logic, then, nothing happened to the meat when it was offered up to an idol. It’s just like any other meat. I know that, and you know that. But knowing isn’t everything. If it becomes everything, some people end up as know-it-alls who treat others as know-nothings. Real knowledge isn’t that insensitive.

   We need to be sensitive to the fact that we’re not all at the same level of understanding in this. Some of you have spent your entire lives eating "idol meat," and are sure that there’s something bad in the meat that then becomes something bad inside of you. An imagination and conscience shaped under those conditions isn’t going to change overnight.

   8,9 But fortunately God doesn’t grade us on our diet. We’re neither commended when we clean our plate nor reprimanded when we just can’t stomach it. But God does care when you use your freedom carelessly in a way that leads a fellow believer still vulnerable to those old associations to be thrown off track.

   11-13 Christ gave up his life for that person. Wouldn’t you at least be willing to give up going to dinner for him—because, as you say, it doesn’t really make any difference? But it does make a difference if you hurt your friend terribly, risking his eternal ruin! When you hurt your friend, you hurt Christ. A free meal here and there isn’t worth it at the cost of even one of these "weak ones." So, never go to these idol-tainted meals if there’s any chance it will trip up one of your brothers or sisters.
