Sur les viandes sacrifiées aux idoles
8 Passons au problème[a] des viandes provenant d’animaux sacrifiés aux idoles[b]. Nous possédons tous la connaissance voulue, nous le savons. Mais la connaissance rend orgueilleux. L’amour, lui, fait grandir dans la foi. 2 Celui qui s’imagine avoir de la connaissance ne connaît pas encore comme on doit connaître. 3 Mais celui qui aime Dieu, celui-là est connu de Dieu. 4 Qu’en est-il donc de la question de la consommation des viandes sacrifiées aux idoles ? Nous savons qu’il n’existe pas d’idoles dans le monde et qu’il n’y a qu’un seul Dieu. 5 Certes, bien des êtres célestes ou terrestres sont considérés comme des divinités, de sorte qu’il y a de nombreux dieux ou seigneurs. 6 Mais pour ce qui nous concerne, il n’y a qu’un seul Dieu : le Père, de qui toute chose vient, et pour qui nous vivons, et il n’y a qu’un seul Seigneur : Jésus-Christ, par qui tout existe et par qui nous sommes.
7 Mais tous les chrétiens n’ont pas encore bien assimilé ces vérités. Quelques-uns, encore marqués par leur habitude de rendre un culte aux idoles, continuent à manger ces viandes avec la pensée qu’elles ont été offertes à des idoles. Alors leur conscience, qui est faible, se charge de culpabilité. 8 Mais ce n’est pas un aliment qui peut nous rapprocher de Dieu ; en manger ou pas ne nous rendra ni meilleurs, ni pires. 9 Toutefois, faites bien attention à ce que votre liberté ne cause pas la chute de ceux qui sont mal affermis dans la foi. 10 Supposons, en effet, que l’un d’eux te voie, toi, qui as la connaissance, assis à table dans un temple d’idoles[c]. Sa conscience ne va-t-elle pas l’encourager, lui qui est mal affermi, à manger des viandes sacrifiées aux idoles ? 11 Ainsi, à cause de ta connaissance, ce chrétien mal affermi va courir à sa perte. Et pourtant, c’est un frère ou une sœur pour qui Christ a donné sa vie ! 12 Si vous péchez de la sorte envers des frères ou des sœurs, en blessant leur conscience qui est faible, vous péchez contre Christ lui-même. 13 C’est pourquoi, si ce que je mange devait causer la chute de mon frère ou de ma sœur, j’y renoncerais à tout jamais, afin de ne pas être pour lui une occasion de chute.

- 8.1 Ces viandes provenaient des animaux offerts en sacrifice dans les temples païens. Une partie de la viande était consommée sur place, une autre était donnée aux prêtres, ce qui restait était rendu aux offrants ou vendu au marché (10.25). Certains chrétiens se demandaient si ce n’était pas participer à l’idolâtrie que de consommer des viandes (achetées au marché) qui avaient été offertes aux idoles (voir Ac 15.29).
- 8.10 Les païens invitaient leurs amis aux repas de sacrifice dans les temples d’idoles.

Be Sensitive to Conscience
8 Now (A)concerning things offered to idols: We know that we all have (B)knowledge. (C)Knowledge [a]puffs up, but love [b]edifies. 2 And (D)if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he knows nothing yet as he ought to know. 3 But if anyone loves God, this one is known by Him.
4 Therefore concerning the eating of things offered to idols, we know that (E)an idol is nothing in the world, (F)and that there is no other God but one. 5 For even if there are (G)so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as there are many gods and many lords), 6 yet (H)for us there is one God, the Father, (I)of whom are all things, and we for Him; and (J)one Lord Jesus Christ, (K)through whom are all things, and (L)through whom we live.
7 However, there is not in everyone that knowledge; for some, (M)with consciousness of the idol, until now eat it as a thing offered to an idol; and their conscience, being weak, is (N)defiled. 8 But (O)food does not commend us to God; for neither if we eat are we the better, nor if we do not eat are we the worse.
9 But (P)beware lest somehow this liberty of yours become (Q)a [c]stumbling block to those who are weak. 10 For if anyone sees you who have knowledge eating in an idol’s temple, will not (R)the conscience of him who is weak be emboldened to eat those things offered to idols? 11 And (S)because of your knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died? 12 But (T)when you thus sin against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ. 13 Therefore, (U)if food makes my brother stumble, I will never again eat meat, lest I make my brother stumble.

Concerning Food Sacrificed to Idols
8 Now about food sacrificed to idols:(A) We know that “We all possess knowledge.”(B) But knowledge puffs up while love builds up. 2 Those who think they know something(C) do not yet know as they ought to know.(D) 3 But whoever loves God is known by God.[a](E)
4 So then, about eating food sacrificed to idols:(F) We know that “An idol is nothing at all in the world”(G) and that “There is no God but one.”(H) 5 For even if there are so-called gods,(I) whether in heaven or on earth (as indeed there are many “gods” and many “lords”), 6 yet for us there is but one God,(J) the Father,(K) from whom all things came(L) and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord,(M) Jesus Christ, through whom all things came(N) and through whom we live.
7 But not everyone possesses this knowledge.(O) Some people are still so accustomed to idols that when they eat sacrificial food they think of it as having been sacrificed to a god, and since their conscience is weak,(P) it is defiled. 8 But food does not bring us near to God;(Q) we are no worse if we do not eat, and no better if we do.
9 Be careful, however, that the exercise of your rights does not become a stumbling block(R) to the weak.(S) 10 For if someone with a weak conscience sees you, with all your knowledge, eating in an idol’s temple, won’t that person be emboldened to eat what is sacrificed to idols?(T) 11 So this weak brother or sister, for whom Christ died, is destroyed(U) by your knowledge. 12 When you sin against them(V) in this way and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.(W) 13 Therefore, if what I eat causes my brother or sister to fall into sin, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause them to fall.(X)

1 Corinthians 8
King James Version
8 Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth.
2 And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know.
3 But if any man love God, the same is known of him.
4 As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is none other God but one.
5 For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,)
6 But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.
7 Howbeit there is not in every man that knowledge: for some with conscience of the idol unto this hour eat it as a thing offered unto an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled.
8 But meat commendeth us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse.
9 But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak.
10 For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol's temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols;
11 And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died?
12 But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ.
13 Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend.
