1 Corinthians 8:1-6

New American Standard Bible 1995

Take Care with Your Liberty

8 Now concerning ^(A)things sacrificed to idols, we know that we all have ^(B)knowledge. Knowledge ^[a](C)makes arrogant, but love ^(D)edifies. ^2 (E)If anyone supposes that he knows anything, he has not yet ^(F)known as he ought to know; ³ but if anyone loves God, he ^(G)is known by Him.

⁴ Therefore concerning the eating of ^(H)things sacrificed to idols, we know that ^[b]there is ^(I)no such thing as an idol in the world, and that ^(J)there is no God but one. ⁵ For even if ^(K)there are so-called gods whether in heaven or on earth, as indeed there are many gods and many lords, ⁶ yet for us ^(L)there is but one God, ^(M)the Father, ^(N)from whom are all things and we exist for Him; and ^(O)one Lord, Jesus Christ, ^(P)by whom are all things, and we exist through Him.
