- 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.

- 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.
