8 Authorised (King James) Version Passage New Testament in Greek (UBS.Ed.26)

8 1Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth.Food Offered to Idols 1Cor.8.1-13Περὶ δὲ τῶν εἰδωλοθύτων, οἰδαμεν ὅτι πάντες γνῶσιν ἐχομεν. ἡ γνῶσις φυσιοῖ, ἡ δὲ ἀγάπη οἰκοδομεῖ.
2And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know. εἰ τις δοκεῖ ἐγνωκέναι τι, οὐπω ἐγνω καθὼς δεῖ γνῶναι·
3But if any man love God, the same is known of him. εἰ δέ τις ἀγαπᾷ τὸν θεόν, οὗτος ἐγνωσται ὑπ' αὐτοῦ.
4As 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. Περὶ τῆς βρώσεως οὖν τῶν εἰδωλοθύτων οἰδαμεν ὅτι οὐδὲν εἰδωλον ἐν κόσμῳ, καὶ ὅτι οὐδεὶς θεὸς εἰ μὴ εἷς.
5For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,) καὶ γὰρ εἰπερ εἰσὶν λεγόμενοι θεοὶ εἰτε ἐν οὐρανῷ εἰτε ἐπὶ γῆς, ὡσπερ εἰσὶν θεοὶ πολλοὶ καὶ κύριοι πολλοί,
6But 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. ἀλλ' ἡμῖν εἷς θεὸς ὁ πατήρ, ἐξ οὗ τὰ πάντα καὶ ἡμεῖς εἰς αὐτόν, καὶ εἷς κύριος Ἰησοῦς Χριστός, δῖ οὗ τὰ πάντα καὶ ἡμεῖς δῖ αὐτοῦ.
7Howbeit 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. Ἀλλ' οὐκ ἐν πᾶσιν ἡ γνῶσις· τινὲς δὲ τῇ συνηθείᾳ ἑως ἀρτι τοῦ εἰδώλου ὡς εἰδωλόθυτον ἐσθίουσιν, καὶ ἡ συνείδησις αὐτῶν ἀσθενὴς οὖσα μολύνεται.
8But meat commendeth us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse. βρῶμα δὲ ἡμᾶς οὐ παραστήσει τῷ θεῷ· οὐτε ἐὰν μὴ φάγωμεν ὑστερούμεθα, οὐτε ἐὰν φάγωμεν περισσεύομεν.
9But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak. βλέπετε δὲ μή πως ἡ ἐξουσία ὑμῶν αὑτη πρόσκομμα γένηται τοῖς ἀσθενέσιν.
10For 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; ἐὰν γάρ τις ἰδῃ σὲ τὸν ἐχοντα γνῶσιν ἐν εἰδωλείῳ κατακείμενον, οὐχὶ ἡ συνείδησις αὐτοῦ ἀσθενοῦς ὀντος οἰκοδομηθήσεται εἰς τὸ τὰ εἰδωλόθυτα ἐσθίειν;
11And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died? ἀπόλλυται γὰρ ὁ ἀσθενῶν ἐν τῇ σῇ γνώσει, ὁ ἀδελφὸς δῖ ὃν Χριστὸς ἀπέθανεν.
12But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ. οὑτως δὲ ἀμαρτάνοντες εἰς τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς καὶ τύπτοντες αὐτῶν τὴν συνείδησιν ἀσθενοῦσαν εἰς Χριστὸν ἀμαρτάνετε.
13Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend. διόπερ εἰ βρῶμα σκανδαλίζει τὸν ἀδελφόν μου, οὐ μὴ φάγω κρέα εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα, ἵνα μὴ τὸν ἀδελφόν μου σκανδαλίσω.
