I Corinthians 8

1Now concerning those things that are sacrificed to idols: we know we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up: but charity edifieth.
1 Corinthians 8:7, 1 Corinthians 8:7, Romans 14:3, Romans 14:3, Isaiah 5:21
2And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he hath not yet known as he ought to know.
1 Corinthians 13:12, 1 Corinthians 13:12, 1 Corinthians 3:18, 1 Corinthians 3:18, Proverbs 26:12
3But if any man love God, the same is known by him.
Revelation 3:8, Revelation 3:9, Revelation 3:8, Revelation 3:9, Exodus 33:17
4But as for the meats that are sacrificed to idols, we know that an idol 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 although there be that are called gods, either in heaven or on earth (for there be gods many and lords many):
Jeremiah 2:28, 2 Thessalonians 2:4, Galatians 4:8, Jeremiah 2:28, 2 Thessalonians 2:4
6Yet to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we unto him: and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.
Romans 11:36, Romans 11:36, John 1:3, John 1:3, Malachi 2:10
7But there is not knowledge in every one. For some until this present, with conscience of the idol, eat as a thing sacrificed to an idol: and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.
Romans 14:14, Romans 14:14, 1 Corinthians 10:28, 1 Corinthians 10:29, 1 Corinthians 10:28
8But meat doth not commend us to God. For neither, if we eat, shall we have the more: nor, if we eat not, shall we have the less.
Romans 14:17, Romans 14:17, Hebrews 13:9, Hebrews 13:9, 1 Corinthians 6:13
9But take heed lest perhaps this your liberty become a stumblingblock to the weak.
Galatians 5:13, Galatians 5:13, Romans 14:20, Romans 14:21, Romans 14:20
10For if a man see him that hath knowledge sit at meat in the idol's temple, shall not his conscience, being weak, be emboldened to eat those things which are sacrificed to idols?
1 Corinthians 10:28, 1 Corinthians 10:29, 1 Corinthians 10:28, 1 Corinthians 10:29, Romans 14:23
11And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ hath died?
Romans 14:15, Romans 14:15, Romans 15:1, Romans 15:3, Romans 15:1
12Now when you sin thus against the brethren and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.
Matthew 18:6, Matthew 18:6, Matthew 25:45, Matthew 25:45, 1 Corinthians 12:12
13Wherefore, if meat scandalize my brother, I will never eat flesh, lest I should scandalize my brother.
Romans 14:21, Romans 14:21, 2 Corinthians 11:29, 2 Corinthians 6:3, 2 Corinthians 11:29
