I CORINTHIANS

I Corinthians 8

1Now concerning the things offered in sacrifice to idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but love edifieth;
1 Corinthians 8:7, 1 Corinthians 8:7, Romans 14:3, Romans 14:3, Isaiah 5:21
2if any one think that he knoweth anything, he knoweth nothing yet, 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 one love God, the same is known by Him.
Revelation 3:8, Revelation 3:9, Revelation 3:8, Revelation 3:9, Exodus 33:17
4Concerning the eating of the things offered in sacrifice to idols, then, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no other God but one.
Deuteronomy 4:39, Deuteronomy 4:39, Isaiah 41:24, Isaiah 41:24, 1 Timothy 2:5
5For though there are those that are called gods, whether in heaven or on earth; as there are 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, from whom are all things, and we to him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we through him.
Romans 11:36, Romans 11:36, John 1:3, John 1:3, Malachi 2:10
7But there is not in all men this knowledge; for some, with a conscience directed toward the idol even now, eat of it as a thing offered in sacrifice 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 food will not recommend us to God; if we do not eat, we are not the worse; nor if we do eat, are we the better.
Romans 14:17, Romans 14:17, Hebrews 13:9, Hebrews 13:9, 1 Corinthians 6:13
9But take heed, lest this liberty of yours become a stumbling-block to the weak.
Galatians 5:13, Galatians 5:13, Romans 14:20, Romans 14:21, Romans 14:20
10For if any one see thee, who hast knowledge, at table in an idol’s temple, will not the conscience of him that is weak be emboldened to eat the things offered to idols?
1 Corinthians 10:28, 1 Corinthians 10:29, 1 Corinthians 10:28, 1 Corinthians 10:29, Romans 14:23
11For through thy knowledge he that is weak perisheth,—the brother for whom Christ died!
Romans 14:15, Romans 14:15, Romans 15:1, Romans 15:3, Romans 15:1
12But when ye so sin against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ.
Matthew 18:6, Matthew 18:6, Matthew 25:45, Matthew 25:45, 1 Corinthians 12:12
13Wherefore, if food cause my brother to fall, I will eat no flesh for ever, lest I cause my brother to fall. Am I not free?
Romans 14:21, Romans 14:21, 2 Corinthians 11:29, 2 Corinthians 6:3, 2 Corinthians 11:29
