1论到，我们晓得我们都有知识。但知识是叫人，惟有爱心能人。Now about food sacrificed to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.
2若有人以为自己知道什么，按他所当知道的，他仍是不知道。The one who thinks he knows something does not yet know as he ought to know.
3若有人爱 神，这人乃是 神所知道的。But the one who loves God is known by God.
4论到吃祭偶像之物，我们知道偶像在世上算不得什么，也知道 神只有一位，再没有别的 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虽有称为 神的，或在天，或在地，就如那许多的 神，许多的主；For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as there are many so-called gods and lords),
6然而我们只有一位 神，就是父—万物都本于他；我们也归于他—并有，就是耶稣基督—万物都是借着他有的；我们也是借着他有的。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.
7但人不都有这等知识。有人到如今因拜惯了偶像，就以为所吃的是祭偶像之物。他们的既然软弱，也就污秽了。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其实食物不能叫 神我们，因为我们不吃也无损，吃也无益。But food does not bring us closer to God: We are no worse if we do not eat, and no better if we do.
9只是你们要谨慎，恐怕你们这竟成了那软弱人的绊脚石。Be careful, however, that your freedom does not become a stumbling block to the weak.
10若有人见你这有知识的，，这人的良心若是软弱，岂不去吃那祭偶像之物吗？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，基督为他死的那软弱弟兄，也就因你的知识了。So this weak brother, for whom Christ died, is destroyed by your knowledge.
12你们这样得罪弟兄们，伤了他们软弱的良心，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，我就永远不吃肉，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.
