8:1 ⧉ ⤴︎ Περὶ δὲ τῶν εἰδωλοθύτων , οἴδαμεν ὅτι πάντες γνῶσιν ἔχομεν . ἡ γνῶσις φυσιοῖ , ἡ δὲ ἀγάπη οἰκοδομεῖ .
De iis autem quae idolis sacrificantur , scimus quia omnes scientiam habemus . Scientia inflat , caritas vero aedificat .

Now concerning things sacrificed to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.
8:2 ⧉ ⤴︎ εἴ τις δοκεῖ ἐγνωκέναι τι , οὔπω ἔγνω καθὼς δεῖ γνῶναι ·
Si quis autem se existimat scire aliquid , nondum cognovit quemadmodum oporteat eum scire .

But if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he doesn’t yet know as he ought to know.
8:3 ⧉ ⤴︎ εἰ δέ τις ἀγαπᾷ τὸν θεόν , οὗτος ἔγνωσται ὑπ’ αὐτοῦ .
Si quis autem diligit Deum , hic cognitus est ab eo .

But anyone who loves God is known by him.
8:4 ⧉ ⤴︎ περὶ τῆς βρώσεως οὖν τῶν εἰδωλοθύτων οἴδαμεν ὅτι οὐδὲν εἴδωλον ἐν κόσμῳ , καὶ ὅτι οὐδεὶς θεὸς εἰ μὴ εἷς .
De escis autem quae idolis immolantur , scimus quia nihil est idolum in mundo , et quod nullus est Deus , nisi unus .

Therefore concerning the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that no idol is anything in the world, and that there is no other God but one.
8:5 ⧉ ⤴︎ καὶ γὰρ εἴπερ εἰσὶν λεγόμενοι θεοὶ εἴτε ἐν οὐρανῷ εἴτε ἐπὶ γῆς , ὥσπερ εἰσὶν θεοὶ πολλοὶ καὶ κύριοι πολλοί ,
Nam etsi sunt qui dicantur dii sive in caelo , sive in terra (siquidem sunt dii multi , et domini multi ) :

For though there are things that are called “gods”, whether in the heavens or on earth—as there are many “gods” and many “lords”—
8:6 ⧉ ⤴︎ ἀλλ’ ἡμῖν εἷς θεὸς ὁ πατήρ , ἐξ οὗ τὰ πάντα καὶ ἡμεῖς εἰς αὐτόν , καὶ εἷς κύριος Ἰησοῦς Χριστός , δι’ οὗ τὰ πάντα καὶ ἡμεῖς δι’ αὐτοῦ .
nobis tamen unus est Deus , Pater , ex quo omnia , et nos in illum : et unus Dominus Jesus Christus , per quem omnia , et nos per ipsum .

yet to us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we live through him.
8:7 ⧉ ⤴︎ ἀλλ’ οὐκ ἐν πᾶσιν ἡ γνῶσις · τινὲς δὲ τῇ συνηθείᾳ ἕως ἄρτι τοῦ εἰδώλου ὡς εἰδωλόθυτον ἐσθίουσιν , καὶ ἡ συνείδησις αὐτῶν ἀσθενὴς οὖσα μολύνεται .
Sed non in omnibus est scientia . Quidam autem cum conscientia usque nunc idoli , quasi idolothytum manducant : et conscientia ipsorum cum sit infirma , polluitur .

However, that knowledge isn’t in all men. But some, with consciousness of an idol until now, eat as of a thing sacrificed to an idol, and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.
8:8 ⧉ ⤴︎ βρῶμα δὲ ἡμᾶς οὐ παραστήσει τῷ θεῷ · οὔτε ἐὰν φάγωμεν περισσεύομεν , οὔτε ἐὰν μὴ φάγωμεν ὑστερούμεθα .

ወመብልዕሰ ኢያሰልጠነ በኀበ እግዚአብሔር በሊዕኒ ኢያረብሐነ ወኢያነክየነ ።
But food will not commend us to God. For neither, if we don’t eat are we the worse, nor if we eat are we the better.
8:9 ⧉ ⤴︎ βλέπετε δὲ μήπως ἡ ἐξουσία ὑμῶν αὕτη πρόσκομμα γένηται τοῖς ἀσθενέσιν .

But be careful that by no means does this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to the weak.
8:10 ⧉ ⤴︎ ἐὰν γάρ τις ἴδῃ σὲ τὸν ἔχοντα γνῶσιν ἐν εἰδωλίῳ κατακείμενον , οὐχὶ ἡ συνείδησις αὐτοῦ ἀσθενοῦς ὄντος οἰκοδομηθήσεται εἰς τὸ τὰ εἰδωλόθυτα ἐσθίειν ;
Si enim quis viderit eum , qui habet scientiam , in idolio recumbentem : nonne conscientia ejus , cum sit infirma , aedificabitur ad manducandum idolothyta ?

For if a man sees you who have knowledge sitting in an idol’s temple, won’t his conscience, if he is weak, be emboldened to eat things sacrificed to idols?
8:11 ⧉ ⤴︎ ἀπόλλυται γὰρ ὁ ἀσθενῶν ἐν τῇ σῇ γνώσει , ὁ ἀδελφὸς δι’ ὃν Χριστὸς ἀπέθανεν .

And through your knowledge, he who is weak perishes, the brother for whose sake Christ died.
8:12 ⧉ ⤴︎ οὕτως δὲ ἁμαρτάνοντες εἰς τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς καὶ τύπτοντες αὐτῶν τὴν συνείδησιν ἀσθενοῦσαν εἰς Χριστὸν ἁμαρτάνετε .

ወለእመ ከመዝ ትኤብሱ ላዕለ ቢጽክሙ ወታወድቁ ልቦሙ ለድኩማን ለክርስቶስኬ አበስክሙ ።
Thus, sinning against the brothers, and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ.
8:13 ⧉ ⤴︎ διόπερ εἰ βρῶμα σκανδαλίζει τὸν ἀδελφόν μου , οὐ μὴ φάγω κρέα εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα , ἵνα μὴ τὸν ἀδελφόν μου σκανδαλίσω .

Therefore, if food causes my brother to stumble, I will eat no meat forever more, that I don’t cause my brother to stumble.
