I Corinthians 8

1Now about things offered to images: we all seem to ourselves to have knowledge. Knowledge gives pride, but love gives true strength.
1 Corinthians 8:7, 1 Corinthians 8:7, Romans 14:3, Romans 14:3, Isaiah 5:21
2If anyone seems to himself to have knowledge, so far he has not the right sort of knowledge about anything;
1 Corinthians 13:12, 1 Corinthians 13:12, 1 Corinthians 3:18, 1 Corinthians 3:18, Proverbs 26:12
3But if anyone has love for God, God has knowledge of him.
Revelation 3:8, Revelation 3:9, Revelation 3:8, Revelation 3:9, Exodus 33:17
4So, then, as to the question of taking food offered to images, we are certain that an image is nothing in the world, and that there is no God but one.
Deuteronomy 4:39, Deuteronomy 4:39, Isaiah 41:24, Isaiah 41:24, 1 Timothy 2:5
5For though there are those who have the name of gods, in heaven or on earth, as there are a number of gods and a number of lords,
Jeremiah 2:28, 2 Thessalonians 2:4, Galatians 4:8, Jeremiah 2:28, 2 Thessalonians 2:4
6There is for us only one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we are for him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we have our being through him.
Romans 11:36, Romans 11:36, John 1:3, John 1:3, Malachi 2:10
7Still, all men have not that knowledge: but some, being used till now to the image, are conscious that they are taking food which has been offered to the image; and because they are not strong in the faith, their minds are troubled.
Romans 14:14, Romans 14:14, 1 Corinthians 10:28, 1 Corinthians 10:29, 1 Corinthians 10:28
8But God's approval of us is not based on the food we take: if we do not take it we are no worse for it; and if we take it we are no better.
Romans 14:17, Romans 14:17, Hebrews 13:9, Hebrews 13:9, 1 Corinthians 6:13
9But take care that this power of yours does not give cause for trouble to the feeble.
Galatians 5:13, Galatians 5:13, Romans 14:20, Romans 14:21, Romans 14:20
10For if a man sees you, who have knowledge, taking food as a guest in the house of an image, will it not give him, if he is feeble, the idea that he may take food offered to images?
1 Corinthians 10:28, 1 Corinthians 10:29, 1 Corinthians 10:28, 1 Corinthians 10:29, Romans 14:23
11And so, through your knowledge, you are the cause of destruction to your brother, for whom Christ underwent death.
Romans 14:15, Romans 14:15, Romans 15:1, Romans 15:3, Romans 15:1
12And in this way, doing evil to the brothers, and causing trouble to those whose faith is feeble, you are sinning against Christ.
Matthew 18:6, Matthew 18:6, Matthew 25:45, Matthew 25:45, 1 Corinthians 12:12
13For this reason, if food is a cause of trouble to my brother, I will give up taking meat for ever, so that I may not be a cause of trouble to my brother.
Romans 14:21, Romans 14:21, 2 Corinthians 11:29, 2 Corinthians 6:3, 2 Corinthians 11:29
