Chapter 8.

00:02.200 --> 00:06.640
Now, as touching things offered unto
idols, we know that we all have knowledge.

00:07.660 --> 00:11.420
Knowledge puffeth up, but charity
edifieth.

00:11.940 --> 00:16.500
And if any man think that he knoweth
anything, he knoweth nothing, yet as he

00:16.500 --> 00:17.200
ought to know.

00:17.840 --> 00:21.160
But if any man love God, the same is known
of him.

00:21.920 --> 00:26.160
As concerning, therefore, the eating of
those things that are offered in sacrifice

00:26.160 --> 00:31.320
unto idols, we know that an idol is
nothing in the world, and that there is

00:31.320 --> 00:32.740
none other God but one.

00:34.080 --> 00:38.700
For though there be that are called gods,
whether in heaven or in earth,

00:39.260 --> 00:44.520
as there be gods many, and lords many,
but to us there is but one God,

00:44.900 --> 00:50.620
the Father, of whom are all things,
and we in him, and one Lord Jesus Christ,

00:50.800 --> 00:53.560
by whom are all things, and we by him.

00:54.200 --> 00:57.880
Howbeit, there is not in every man that
knowledge.

00:58.420 --> 01:04.040
For some with conscience of the idol unto
this hour eat it as a thing offered unto

01:04.040 --> 01:07.200
an idol, and their conscience being weak
is defiled.

01:08.160 --> 01:10.840
But meat commendeth us not to God.

01:11.220 --> 01:16.400
For neither if we eat are we the better,
neither if we eat not are we the worse.

01:16.920 --> 01:22.140
But take heed, lest by any means this
liberty of yours become a stumbling-block

01:22.140 --> 01:23.480
to them that are weak.

01:24.400 --> 01:29.300
For if any man see thee which has
knowledge sit at meat in the idol's

01:29.300 --> 01:34.500
temple, shall not the conscience of him
which is weak be emboldened to eat those

01:34.500 --> 01:35.980
things which are offered to idols?

01:36.780 --> 01:41.480
And through thy knowledge shall the weak
brother perish for whom Christ died?

01:42.180 --> 01:46.220
But when ye sin so against the brethren,
and wound their weak conscience,

01:46.520 --> 01:48.100
ye sin against Christ.

01:49.040 --> 01:55.080
Wherefore, if meat make my brother to
offend, I will eat no flesh while the

01:55.080 --> 01:59.060
world standeth, lest I make my brother to
offend.
