1 Corinthians 8:1
1Concerning Food Offered to IdolsNow concerning food offered to idols: We know that we all possess knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.Acts 15:20, 29; Rom 14:3, 10, 14, 22; 1Cor 10:191 Corinthians 8:7
7But not everyone has this knowledge. Some people are so accustomed to idols that they still think they are eating food offered to an idol, and since their conscience is weak, it becomes contaminated.Rom 14:14, 23; 1Cor 10:28-291 Corinthians 8:10
10For if anyone with a weak conscience sees you who have this knowledge eating in an idol's temple, he will be encouraged to eat what has been offered to idols, won't he?1Cor 10:28, 322 Peter 1:12
12Therefore, I intend to keep on reminding you about these things, even though you already know them and are firmly established in the truth that you now have.Rom 15:14-15; Phil 3:1; 1Pet 5:12; 2Pet 3:1, 17; 1John 2:21; Jude 1:51 John 2:21
21I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it and because no lie comes from the truth.
