1Co8:1 But of these things that be sacrificed to idols, we know, for all we have knowing. But knowing bloweth, charity edifieth [Soothly science, or knowing , in-bloweth with pride , charity edifieth].
1Co8:2 But if any man guesseth [Forsooth if any man guess, or deem ], that he knoweth any thing, he hath not yet known how it behooveth him to know.
1Co8:3 And if any man loveth God, this is known of him.
1Co8:4 But of meats that be offered to idols, we know, that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no God but one.
1Co8:5 For though there be some that be said gods [For why though there be that be said gods], either in heaven, either in earth, as there be many gods, and many lords;
1Co8:6 nevertheless to us is one God, the Father, of whom be all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom be all things, and we by him.
1Co8:7 But not in all men is knowing. For some men with conscience of idol till now eat as thing offered to idols; and their conscience is defouled, for it is frail [when it is sick].
1Co8:8 [Forsooth] Meat commendeth us not to God; for neither we shall fail, if we eat not, neither if we eat, we shall have plenty [we shall abound, or have plenty ].
1Co8:9 But see ye, lest peradventure this your leave be made hurting to frail men. [See ye forsooth, lest peradventure this your license, or leave , be made hurting, or offence, to sick men, or frail .]
1Co8:10 For if any man shall see him, that hath knowing, eating in a place where idols be worshipped, whether his conscience, since it is frail [since it is sick], shall not be edified to eat things offered to idols?
1Co8:11 And the frail brother [And the sick brother], for whom Christ died, shall perish in thy knowing.
1Co8:12 For thus ye sinning against brethren, and smiting their frail conscience [and smiting their sick conscience], sin against Christ.
1Co8:13 Wherefore if meat causeth my brother to stumble, I shall never eat flesh, lest I cause my brother to stumble. [Wherefore if meat causeth my brother to offend, I shall not eat flesh into without end, lest I cause my brother to offend.]
