知識叫人自高自大，愛心造就人

¹論到祭偶像之物，我們曉得我們都有知識。但知識是叫人自高自大，惟有愛心能造就人。Now about food sacrificed to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.

²若有人以為自己知道甚麼，按他所當知道的，他仍是不知道。The one who thinks he knows something does not yet know as he ought to know.

³若有人愛　神，這人乃是　神所知道的。But the one who loves God is known by God.

偶像算不得甚麼

⁴論到吃祭偶像之物，我們知道偶像在世上算不得甚麼，也知道　神只有一位，再沒有別的　神。So about eating food sacrificed to idols: We know that an idol is nothing at all in the world, and that there is no God but one.

⁵雖有稱為　神的，或在天，或在地，就如那許多的　神，許多的主；For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as there are many so-called gods and lords),

⁶然而我們只有一位　神，就是父─萬物都本於他；我們也歸於他─並有一位主，就是耶穌基督─萬物都是藉著他有的；我們也是藉著他有的。yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we exist. And there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we exist.

不是人人都有這等知識

⁷但人不都有這等知識。有人到如今因拜慣了偶像，就以為所吃的是祭偶像之物。他們的良心既然軟弱，也就污穢了。But not everyone has this knowledge. Some people are still so accustomed to idols that they eat such food as if it were sacrificed to an idol. And since their conscience is weak, it is defiled.

⁸其實食物不能叫　神看中我們，因為我們不吃也無損，吃也無益。But food does not bring us closer to God: We are no worse if we do not eat, and no better if we do.

不要讓自由成了絆腳石

⁹只是你們要謹慎，恐怕你們這自由竟成了那軟弱人的絆腳石。Be careful, however, that your freedom does not become a stumbling block to the weak.

¹⁰若有人見你這有知識的，在偶像的廟裡坐席，這人的良心若是軟弱，豈不放膽去吃那祭偶像之物嗎？For if someone with a weak conscience sees you who are well informed eating in an idol’s temple, will he not be encouraged to eat food sacrificed to idols?

¹¹因此，基督為他死的那軟弱弟兄，也就因你的知識沉淪了。So this weak brother, for whom Christ died, is destroyed by your knowledge.

¹²你們這樣得罪弟兄們，傷了他們軟弱的良心，就是得罪基督。By sinning against your brothers in this way and wounding their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.

¹³所以，食物若叫我弟兄跌倒，我就永遠不吃肉，免得叫我弟兄跌倒了。Therefore, if what I eat causes my brother to stumble, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause him to stumble.
