4. Therefore concerning the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that no idol is anything in the world, and that there is no other God but one.
5. For though there are things that are called “gods”, whether in the heavens or on earth; as there are many “gods” and many “lords”;
6. yet to us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for him; and one Lord, Yeshua the Messiah, through whom are all things, and we live through him.
7. However, that knowledge isn’t in all men. But some, with consciousness of the idol until now, eat as of a thing sacrificed to an idol, and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.
8. But food will not commend us to God. For neither, if we don’t eat, are we the worse; nor, if we eat, are we the better.
9. But be careful that by no means does this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to the weak.
