Tungkol sa Pagkaing Inihandog sa Diyus-diyosan
8 Ngayon, ipaliliwanag ko naman sa inyo ang tungkol sa mga pagkaing inihandog sa mga diyus-diyosan. Alam nating “may kaalaman tayong lahat,” gaya ng sabi ng iba. Ang kaalamang ito ay nagtutulak sa tao na maging mapagmataas, subalit ang pag-ibig ay nakakapagpatatag. 2 Ang nag-aakalang may nalalaman siya ay hindi pa nakakaalam ng dapat niyang malaman. 3 Ngunit ang umiibig sa Diyos ay kilala ng Diyos.
4 Kaya nga, tungkol sa pagkaing inihandog sa diyus-diyosan, alam nating ang mga diyus-diyosan ay larawan ng mga bagay na di-totoo, at alam nating iisa lamang ang Diyos. 5 Kahit na may tinatawag na “mga diyos” sa langit at sa lupa, at ang mga tinatawag na “mga diyos” at “mga panginoon” ay marami, 6 subalit para sa atin ay iisa lamang ang Diyos, ang Ama na lumikha ng lahat ng bagay, at tayo'y nabubuhay para sa kanya. Iisa ang Panginoon, si Jesu-Cristo, at sa pamamagitan niya'y nilikha ang lahat ng bagay, at sa pamamagitan din niya'y nabubuhay tayo.
7 Subalit hindi lahat ay nakakaalam nito. May mga taong nasanay na sa pagsamba sa mga diyus-diyosan noong una, kaya't hanggang ngayon, kapag kumakain sila ng ganoong pagkain, inaakala pa rin nila na iyon ay handog sa diyus-diyosan. Dahil mahina ang kanilang budhi, ang akala nila'y nagkakasala sila kapag kumain sila niyon. 8 Ang pagkain ay walang kinalaman sa katayuan natin sa harap ng Diyos. Walang mawawala sa atin kung hindi tayo kumain ng ganoong pagkain, at wala ring kabutihang maidudulot sa atin kung kumain man tayo niyan.
9 Ngunit mag-ingat kayo, baka ang paggamit ninyo ng kalayaang kumain ng anumang pagkain ay maging sanhi ng pagkakasala ng mahihina sa kanyang paniniwala. 10 Kung ikaw na may sapat na kaalaman ay kumakain sa loob ng templo ng mga diyus-diyosan, at makita ka ng kapatid na mahina ang budhi, hindi kaya siya mabuyong kumain niyon kahit inihandog sa diyus-diyosan? 11 Dahil sa inaakala mong “kaalaman” ay napapahamak ang iyong mahinang kapatid na tinubos din ng kamatayan ni Cristo. 12 Sa ganoong paraan, nagkakasala kayo sa inyong mga kapatid kaya't nagkakasala kayo kay Cristo dahil sinugatan ninyo ang kanilang budhi. 13 Kaya nga, kung dahil sa pagkain ay itinutulak ko sa pagkakasala ang aking kapatid, hindi na ako kakain ng karne upang hindi siya magkasala.

Concerning Food Sacrificed to Idols
8 Now about food sacrificed to idols:(A) We know that “We all possess knowledge.”(B) But knowledge puffs up while love builds up. 2 Those who think they know something(C) do not yet know as they ought to know.(D) 3 But whoever loves God is known by God.[a](E)
4 So then, about eating food sacrificed to idols:(F) We know that “An idol is nothing at all in the world”(G) and that “There is no God but one.”(H) 5 For even if there are so-called gods,(I) whether in heaven or on earth (as indeed there are many “gods” and many “lords”), 6 yet for us there is but one God,(J) the Father,(K) from whom all things came(L) and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord,(M) Jesus Christ, through whom all things came(N) and through whom we live.
7 But not everyone possesses this knowledge.(O) Some people are still so accustomed to idols that when they eat sacrificial food they think of it as having been sacrificed to a god, and since their conscience is weak,(P) it is defiled. 8 But food does not bring us near to God;(Q) we are no worse if we do not eat, and no better if we do.
9 Be careful, however, that the exercise of your rights does not become a stumbling block(R) to the weak.(S) 10 For if someone with a weak conscience sees you, with all your knowledge, eating in an idol’s temple, won’t that person be emboldened to eat what is sacrificed to idols?(T) 11 So this weak brother or sister, for whom Christ died, is destroyed(U) by your knowledge. 12 When you sin against them(V) in this way and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.(W) 13 Therefore, if what I eat causes my brother or sister to fall into sin, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause them to fall.(X)

King James Version
8 Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth.
2 And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know.
3 But if any man love 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 none other God but one.
5 For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,)
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 every man that knowledge: for some with conscience of the idol unto this hour eat it as a thing offered unto an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled.
8 But meat commendeth us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse.
9 But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak.
10 For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol's temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols;
11 And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died?
12 But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ.
13 Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend.

Food Offered to Idols
8 Now concerning[a] (A)food offered to idols: we know that (B)“all of us possess knowledge.” This “knowledge” (C)puffs up, (D)but love builds up. 2 (E)If anyone imagines that he knows something, (F)he does not yet know as he ought to know. 3 But if anyone loves God, (G)he is known by God.[b]
4 Therefore, as to the eating of food offered to idols, we know that (H)“an idol has no real existence,” and that (I)“there is no God but one.” 5 For although there may be (J)so-called gods in heaven or on earth—as indeed there are many “gods” and many “lords”— 6 yet (K)for us there is one God, the Father, (L)from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and (M)one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and (N)through whom we exist.
7 However, not all possess this knowledge. But some, (O)through former association with idols, eat food as really offered to an idol, and (P)their conscience, being weak, is defiled. 8 (Q)Food will not commend us to God. We are no worse off if we do not eat, and no better off if we do. 9 But take care (R)that this right of yours does not somehow become a stumbling block (S)to the weak. 10 For if anyone sees you who have knowledge eating[c] in an idol's temple, will he not be encouraged,[d] if his conscience is weak, to eat food offered to idols? 11 And so by your knowledge this weak person is (T)destroyed, the brother for whom Christ died. 12 Thus, sinning against your brothers[e] and (U)wounding their conscience when it is weak, (V)you sin against Christ. 13 Therefore, (W)if food makes my brother stumble, I will never eat meat, lest I make my brother stumble.

Be Sensitive to Conscience
8 Now (A)concerning things offered to idols: We know that we all have (B)knowledge. (C)Knowledge [a]puffs up, but love [b]edifies. 2 And (D)if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he knows nothing yet as he ought to know. 3 But if anyone loves God, this one is known by Him.
4 Therefore concerning the eating of things offered to idols, we know that (E)an idol is nothing in the world, (F)and that there is no other God but one. 5 For even if there are (G)so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as there are many gods and many lords), 6 yet (H)for us there is one God, the Father, (I)of whom are all things, and we for Him; and (J)one Lord Jesus Christ, (K)through whom are all things, and (L)through whom we live.
7 However, there is not in everyone that knowledge; for some, (M)with consciousness of the idol, until now eat it as a thing offered to an idol; and their conscience, being weak, is (N)defiled. 8 But (O)food does not commend us to God; for neither if we eat are we the better, nor if we do not eat are we the worse.
9 But (P)beware lest somehow this liberty of yours become (Q)a [c]stumbling block to those who are weak. 10 For if anyone sees you who have knowledge eating in an idol’s temple, will not (R)the conscience of him who is weak be emboldened to eat those things offered to idols? 11 And (S)because of your knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died? 12 But (T)when you thus sin against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ. 13 Therefore, (U)if food makes my brother stumble, I will never again eat meat, lest I make my brother stumble.
