Be Sensitive to Conscience
1 Now aconcerning things offered to idols: We know that we all have bknowledge. cKnowledge puffs up, but love edifies.
2 And aif 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 aan idol is nothing in the world, band that there is no other God but one.
5 For even if there are aso-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as there are many gods and many lords),
6 yet afor us there is one God, the Father, bof whom are all things, and we for Him; and cone Lord Jesus Christ, dthrough whom are all things, and ethrough whom we live.
7 However, there is not in everyone that knowledge; for some, awith consciousness of the idol, until now eat it as a thing offered to an idol; and their conscience, being weak, is bdefiled.
8 But afood 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.
