| 1 | Now concerning things sacrificed to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up. | 1Co 8:10 1Co 10:19-22 1Co 10:28-22 Nm 25:2 Ac 15:10 Ac 15:19 Ac 15:20 Ac 15:29 Ac 21:25 Rev 2:14 Rev 2:20 |
| 2 | But if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he doesn`t yet know as he ought to know. | Pr 26:12 Pr 30:2-4 Ro 11:25 Ga 6:3 1Ti 1:5-7 1Ti 6:3 1Ti 6:4 |
| 3 | But if anyone loves God, the same is known by him. | 1Co 2:9 Ro 8:28 Jm 1:12 Jm 2:5 1Pe 1:8 1Jn 4:19 1Jn 5:2 1Jn 5:3 |
| 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. | 1Co 10:19 1Co 10:20 Ps 115:4-8 Isa 41:24 Isa 44:8 Isa 44:9 Jer 10:14 Jer 51:17 Jer 51:18 Hab 2:19 Hab 2:20 Ac 19:26 |
| 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;" | Dt 10:17 Jer 2:11 Jer 2:28 Jer 11:13 Dn 5:4 Jn 10:34 Jn 10:35 Ga 4:8 2Th 2:4 |
| 6 | yet to us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we to him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we through him. | 1Co 8:4 Jon 1:9 Mal 2:10 Jn 10:30 Jn 14:9 Jn 14:10 Jn 17:3 Jn 20:17 Eph 1:3 Eph 3:14 Eph 4:6 1Pe 1:2 1Pe 1:3 |
| 7 | However, that knowledge isn`t in all men. But some, being used until now to the idol, eat as of a thing sacrificed to an idol, and their conscience, being weak, is defiled. | 1Co 1:10 1Co 1:11 |
| 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. | 1Co 6:13 Ro 14:17 Col 2:20-23 Heb 13:9 |
| 9 | But be careful that by any means this liberty of yours doesn`t become a stumbling block to the weak. | 1Co 8:10 1Co 10:24 1Co 10:29 Mt 18:6 Mt 18:7 Mt 18:10 Lk 17:1 Lk 17:2 Ro 14:20 Ro 14:21 Ga 5:13 1Pe 2:16 2Pe 2:19 |
| 10 | For if a man sees you who have knowledge sitting in an idol`s temple, won`t his conscience, if he is weak, be emboldened to eat things sacrificed to idols? | 1Co 8:1 1Co 8:2 |
| 11 | And through your knowledge, he who is weak perishes, the brother for whose sake Christ died. | 1Co 8:13 1Co 10:33 1Co 11:1 Ro 14:15 Ro 14:20 Ro 14:21 Ro 15:1-3 |
| 12 | Thus, sinning against the brothers, and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ. | Gn 20:9 Gn 42:22 Ex 32:21 1Sa 2:25 1Sa 19:4 1Sa 19:5 1Sa 24:11 Mt 18:21 |
| 13 | Therefore, if food causes my brother to stumble, I will eat no meat forevermore, that I don`t cause my brother to stumble. | 1Co 6:12 1Co 9:12 1Co 9:19-23 1Co 10:33 1Co 11:1 1Co 13:5 Ro 14:21 2Co 11:29 2Ti 3:8 2Ti 3:9 |
