1 Corinto 8
Ang Biblia (1978)
8 Ngayon tungkol (A)sa mga bagay na inihain sa mga diosdiosan: Nalalaman natin na tayong lahat ay may (B)kaalaman. (C)Ang kaalaman ay nagpapalalo, nguni't ang pagibig ay nagpapatibay.
2 (D)Kung ang sinoman ay nagaakala na siya'y may nalalamang anoman, ay wala pang nalalaman gaya ng nararapat niyang maalaman;
3 Datapuwa't kung ang sinoman (E)ay umiibig sa Dios, ay kilala niya ang gayon.
4 Tungkol nga sa pagkain ng mga bagay na inihain sa mga diosdiosan, nalalaman natin na (F)ang diosdiosan ay walang kabuluhan sa sanglibutan, (G)at walang Dios liban sa iisa.
5 Sapagka't bagama't mayroong mga (H)tinatawag na mga dios, maging sa langit o maging sa lupa; gaya nang may maraming mga dios at maraming mga panginoon;
6 Nguni't sa ganang atin ay may isang Dios lamang, (I)ang Ama, na buhat sa kaniya ang lahat ng mga bagay, at tayo'y (J)sa kaniya; at isa lamang Panginoon, si Jesucristo, (K)na sa pamamagitan niya ang lahat ng mga bagay, at tayo'y sa pamamagitan niya.
7 Gayon ma'y wala sa lahat ng mga tao ang kaalamang iyan: kundi ang ilan na hanggang ngayon ay (L)nangamimihasa sa diosdiosan, ay kumakain na parang isang bagay na inihain sa diosdiosan; at ang kanilang budhi palibhasa'y mahina ay (M)nangahahawa.
8 Datapuwa't ang pagkain ay hindi magtataguyod sa atin sa Dios: ni hindi tayo masama, kung tayo'y di magsikain; ni hindi tayo lalong mabuti, kung tayo'y magsikain.
9 Datapuwa't magsipagingat kayo baka sa anomang paraan ang inyong kalayaang ito ay maging (N)katitisuran sa mahihina.
10 Sapagka't kung makita ng sinomang ikaw na may (O)kaalaman na nakikisalo sa pagkain sa templo ng diosdiosan, hindi baga titibay ang kaniyang budhi, kung siya'y mahina, upang kumain ng mga bagay na inihain sa mga diosdiosan?
11 Sapagka't sa pamamagitan ng iyong kaalaman ay napapahamak ang mahina, ang kapatid na dahil sa kaniya'y namatay si Cristo.
12 At sa ganitong pagkakasala laban sa mga kapatid, at sa pagkakasugat ng kaniyang budhi kung ito'y mahina, ay nangagkakasala kayo laban kay Cristo.
13 Kaya, (P)kung ang pagkain ay nakapagpapatisod sa aking kapatid, kailan man ay hindi ako kakain ng lamang-kati, upang ako'y huwag makapagpatisod sa aking kapatid.
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.
1 Corinthians 8
New King James Version
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.
