1. Now as concerning things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but charity edifies.
2. And if anyone thinks that they know anything, they know nothing yet as they ought to know.
3. But if anyone loves God, the same is known of him.
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 no other God but one.
5. For though there are some that are called gods, whether in heaven or in the earth (as there are many gods and many lords),
6. 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.
7. Howbeit there is not in everyone that knowledge, for some with conscience of the idol unto now, eat it as a thing offered unto an idol, and their conscience being weak is defiled.
