We are no worse off if we do not eat, and no better off if we do. Knowledge a puffs up, but love b edifies. But some, a through former association with idols, eat food as really offered to an idol, and b their conscience, being weak, is defiled. ħ However, not all possess this knowledge. ” 5 For although there may be v so-called gods in heaven or on earth - as indeed there are many “ gods ” and many “ lords ” - 6 yet w for us there is one God, the Father, x from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and y one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and z through whom we exist. 2Ĥ Therefore, as to the eating of food offered to idols, we know that t “ an idol has no real existence, ” and that u “ there is no God but one. 3 But if anyone loves God, s he is known by God. 2 q If anyone imagines that he knows something, r he does not yet know as he ought to know. ” This “ knowledge ” o puffs up, p but love builds up. 1 Now concerning 1 m food offered to idols : we know that n “ all of us possess knowledge. The Bible is different than any other book in that it contains pure truth.
