1 Corinthians 8

English Standard Version

from Crossway
1 Now concerning[1] food offered to idols: we know that “all of us possess knowledge.” This “knowledge” puffs up, but love builds up. (Ac 15:29; Ro 14:3; Ro 15:14; 1Co 8:4; 1Co 8:7; 1Co 8:10; 1Co 13:4) 2 If anyone imagines that he knows something, he does not yet know as he ought to know. (1Co 3:18; 1Co 13:8; 1Co 13:12; Ga 6:3; 1Ti 6:3) 3 But if anyone loves God, he is known by God.[2] (Ex 33:12; Ex 33:17; Jer 1:5; Na 1:7; Ga 4:9; 2Ti 2:19) 4 Therefore, as to the eating of food offered to idols, we know that “an idol has no real existence,” and that “there is no God but one.” (De 4:35; De 4:39; Isa 41:24; Ac 14:15; 1Co 8:6; 1Co 10:19) 5 For although there may be so-called gods in heaven or on earth—as indeed there are many “gods” and many “lords”— (2Th 2:4) 6 yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist. (Mal 2:10; Joh 1:3; Joh 13:13; Ro 11:36; 1Co 1:2; 1Co 8:4; Eph 4:5; Eph 4:6; Col 1:16; 1Ti 2:5) 7 However, not all possess this knowledge. But some, through former association with idols, eat food as really offered to an idol, and their conscience, being weak, is defiled. (Ro 14:14; Ro 14:22; 1Co 10:25; 1Co 10:28) 8 Food will not commend us to God. We are no worse off if we do not eat, and no better off if we do. (Ro 14:17) 9 But take care that this right of yours does not somehow become a stumbling block to the weak. (Ro 14:1; Ro 14:21; 1Co 10:23; Ga 5:13) 10 For if anyone sees you who have knowledge eating[3] in an idol’s temple, will he not be encouraged,[4] if his conscience is weak, to eat food offered to idols? 11 And so by your knowledge this weak person is destroyed, the brother for whom Christ died. (Ro 14:15; Ro 14:20) 12 Thus, sinning against your brothers[5] and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ. (Zec 2:8; Mt 18:6; Mt 25:45) 13 Therefore, if food makes my brother stumble, I will never eat meat, lest I make my brother stumble. (Ro 14:13; Ro 14:21; 2Co 6:3; 2Co 11:29)

1 А относно идоложертвеното: Знаем, че ние всички уж имаме знание да разрешим въпроса! Но знанието възгордява, а любовта назидава. (Ac 15:20; Ac 15:29; Ro 14:3; Ro 14:10; Ro 14:14; Ro 14:22; 1Co 10:19; 1Co 13:4) 2 Ако някой мисли, че знае нещо, той още не е познал, както трябва да познава. (1Co 13:8; 1Co 13:9; 1Co 13:12; Ga 6:3) 3 Но ако някой обича Бога, той е познат от Него. (Ex 33:12; Ex 33:17; Na 1:7; Mt 7:23; Ga 4:9; 2Ti 2:19) 4 И така, относно яденето от идоложертвеното знаем, че никакъв бог, изобразен от идол, няма на света и че няма друг Бог освен Един. (De 4:39; De 6:4; Isa 44:8; Mr 12:29; 1Co 8:6; 1Co 10:19; Eph 4:6; 1Ti 2:5) 5 Защото, ако и да има така наричани богове, било на небето или на земята (както има много богове и много господари), (De 10:17; Joh 10:34) 6 тоза нас има само един Бог – Отец, от Когото е всичко, и ниепредназначени за Него, и един Господ – Исус Христос, чрез Когото е всичко, и ние чрез Него. (Mal 2:10; Joh 1:3; Joh 13:13; Ac 2:36; Ac 17:28; Ro 11:36; 1Co 12:3; Eph 4:5; Eph 4:6; Php 2:11; Col 1:16; Heb 1:2) 7 Но това знание го няма у всички; и някои, които и досега възприемат идолите според обичаите на езичниците, ядат месото като жертва на идолите; и съвестта им, като е слаба, се осквернява. (Ro 14:14; Ro 14:23; 1Co 10:28; 1Co 10:29) 8 А това, което ядем, не ни прави угодни на Бога; нито ако не ядем, губим нещо; нито ако ядем, печелим нещо. (Ro 14:17) 9 Но внимавайте да не би по някакъв начин тази ваша свобода да стане спънка на слабите. (Ro 14:13; Ro 14:20; Ga 5:13) 10 Защото ако някой види, че ти, който имаш знание, седиш на трапеза в идолски храм, то няма ли неговата съвест, като на слаб човек, да се одързости и той да яде идоложертвено? (1Co 10:28; 1Co 10:32) 11 И поради твоето знание слабият погива – братът, за когото е умрял Христос. (Ro 14:15; Ro 14:20) 12 А като съгрешавате така против братята и наранявате слабата им съвест, вие съгрешавате против Христос. (Mt 25:40; Mt 25:45; Ro 14:1) 13 Затова, ако това, което ям, съблазнява брат ми, аз няма да ям месо до века, за да не съблазня брат си. (Ro 14:21; 2Co 11:29)
