哥林多前书 8
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
禁吃祭偶像之物
8 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，唯有爱心能造就人。 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。 3 若有人爱神，这人乃是神所知道的。 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。 5 虽有称为神的，或在天或在地，就如那许多的神、许多的主， 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。 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；他们的良心既然软弱，也就污秽了。 8 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。
门徒不可借自由成别人的绊脚石
9 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。 10 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？ 11 因此，基督为他死的那软弱弟兄，也就因你的知识沉沦了。 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。 13 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。
1 Corinthians 8
New Living Translation
Food Sacrificed to Idols
8 Now regarding your question about food that has been offered to idols. Yes, we know that “we all have knowledge” about this issue. But while knowledge makes us feel important, it is love that strengthens the church. 2 Anyone who claims to know all the answers doesn’t really know very much. 3 But the person who loves God is the one whom God recognizes.[a]
4 So, what about eating meat that has been offered to idols? Well, we all know that an idol is not really a god and that there is only one God. 5 There may be so-called gods both in heaven and on earth, and some people actually worship many gods and many lords. 6 But for us,
There is one God, the Father,
by whom all things were created,
and for whom we live.
And there is one Lord, Jesus Christ,
through whom all things were created,
and through whom we live.
7 However, not all believers know this. Some are accustomed to thinking of idols as being real, so when they eat food that has been offered to idols, they think of it as the worship of real gods, and their weak consciences are violated. 8 It’s true that we can’t win God’s approval by what we eat. We don’t lose anything if we don’t eat it, and we don’t gain anything if we do.
9 But you must be careful so that your freedom does not cause others with a weaker conscience to stumble. 10 For if others see you—with your “superior knowledge”—eating in the temple of an idol, won’t they be encouraged to violate their conscience by eating food that has been offered to an idol? 11 So because of your superior knowledge, a weak believer[b] for whom Christ died will be destroyed. 12 And when you sin against other believers[c] by encouraging them to do something they believe is wrong, you are sinning against Christ. 13 So if what I eat causes another believer to sin, I will never eat meat again as long as I live—for I don’t want to cause another believer to stumble.
