哥林多前书 1 Corinthians

8:1	[hgb]	论到祭偶像之物，我们晓得我们都有知识。但知识是叫人自高自大，惟有爱心能造就人。
	[bbe]	Now about things offered to images: we all seem to ourselves to have knowledge. Knowledge gives pride, but love gives true strength.
8:2	[hgb]	若有人以为自己知道什么，按他所当知道的，他仍是不知道。
	[bbe]	If anyone seems to himself to have knowledge, so far he has not the right sort of knowledge about anything;
8:3	[hgb]	若有人爱神，这人乃是神所知道的。
	[bbe]	But if anyone has love for God, God has knowledge of him.
8:4	[hgb]	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。
	[bbe]	So, then, as to the question of taking food offered to images, we are certain that an image is nothing in the world, and that there is no God but one.
8:5	[hgb]	虽有称为神的，或在天，或在地。就如那许多的神，许多的主。
	[bbe]	For though there are those who have the name of gods, in heaven or on earth, as there are a number of gods and a number of lords,
8:6	[hgb]	然而我们只有一位神，就是父，万物都本于他，我们也归于他。并有一位主，就是耶稣基督，万物都是借着他有的，我们也是借着他有的。
	[bbe]	There is for us only one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we are for him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we have our being through him.
8:7	[hgb]	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。他们的良心既然软弱，也就污秽了。
	[bbe]	Still, all men have not that knowledge: but some, being used till now to the image, are conscious that they are taking food which has been offered to the image; and because they are not strong in the faith, their minds are troubled.
8:8	[hgb]	其实食物不能叫神看中我们。因为我们不吃也无损，吃也无益。
	[bbe]	But God's approval of us is not based on the food we take: if we do not take it we are no worse for it; and if we take it we are no better.
8:9	[hgb]	只是你们要谨慎，恐怕你们这自由，竟成了那软弱人的绊脚石。
	[bbe]	But take care that this power of yours does not give cause for trouble to the feeble.
8:10	[hgb]	若有人见你这有知识的，在偶像的庙里坐席，这人的良心若是软弱，岂不放胆去吃那祭偶像之物吗？
	[bbe]	For if a man sees you, who have knowledge, taking food as a guest in the house of an image, will it not give him, if he is feeble, the idea that he may take food offered to images?
8:11	[hgb]	因此，基督为他死的那软弱弟兄，也就因你的知识沉沦了。
	[bbe]	And so, through your knowledge, you are the cause of destruction to your brother, for whom Christ underwent death.
8:12	[hgb]	你们这样得罪弟兄们，伤了他们软弱的良心，就是得罪基督。
	[bbe]	And in this way, doing evil to the brothers, and causing trouble to those whose faith is feeble, you are sinning against Christ.
8:13	[hgb]	所以食物若叫我弟兄跌倒，我就永远不吃肉，免得叫我弟兄跌倒了。
	[bbe]	For this reason, if food is a cause of trouble to my brother, I will give up taking meat for ever, so that I may not be a cause of trouble to my brother.
