1 Cor 8:1-6

Knowledge Insufficient. 1Now in regard to meat sacrificed to idols:^* we realize that “all of us have knowledge”; knowledge inflates with pride, but love builds up.^a 2If anyone supposes he knows something, he does not yet know as he ought to know. 3But if one loves God, one is known by him.^b

4So about the eating of meat sacrificed to idols: we know that “there is no idol in the world,” and that “there is no God but one.”^c 5Indeed, even though there are so-called gods in heaven and on earth (there are, to be sure, many “gods” and many “lords”), 6^* yet for us there is

one God, the Father,

from whom all things are and for whom we exist,

and one Lord, Jesus Christ,

through whom all things are and through whom we exist.^d
