1 Now concerning idol sacrifices, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.
2 If anyone thinks he knows anything, he doesn’t yet know as he ought to know.
3 But if anyone loves God, he is known by Him.
4 Therefore concerning the eating of idol sacrifices, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no God but one.
5 For even if there are so-called “gods,” whether in heaven or on earth (as indeed there are many “gods” and many “lords”),
6 yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things, and we exist for Him; and one Lord, Yeshua the Messiah, through whom are all things, and we exist through Him.
7 But that knowledge is not in everyone—some, so accustomed to idols up until now, eat food as an idol sacrifice; and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.
