IDOL SACRIFICES
And concerning idol sacrifices: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs, but love edifies. 2 And if anyone thinks he knows aught, still he knows naught, exactly as he needs to know. 3 And if anyone loves Elohim, he knows this . 4 So, concerning the eating of idol sacrifices, we know that an idol is naught in the cosmos and that there is no other Elohim except one. 5 For even if there are those who are worded, elohim, whether in the heavens or in earth, exactly as there are many elohim and many adoniym 6 - yet to us, one Elohim the Father, by whom all is, and we in him; - and one Adonay Yah Shua Messiah, through whom all is and we through him. 7 Yet that knowledge is not in everyone: for until now some with conscience of the idol eat as an idol sacrifice; and their conscience being frail is stained. 8 But food presents us not to Elohim: for whenever we eat, we superabound not; and whenever we eat not, we lack not. 9 But see - lest somehow your authority becomes a stumbling to the frail. 10 For whenever anyone has knowledge, and sees you repose in an idolion, is not indeed the conscience of the frail edified to eat idol sacrifices 11 - and through your knowledge, the frail brother, for whom Messiah died, destructs? 12 And when you sin thus to the brothers and strike their frail conscience you sin to Messiah. 13 So if food scandalizes my brother, I no way eat meat to the eons, lest I scandalize my brother.
