  1. Concerning Food Sacrificed to Idols

    Now about food sacrificed to idols: We know that “We all possess knowledge.” But knowledge puffs up while love builds up.
  2. So then, about eating food sacrificed to idols: We know that “An idol is nothing at all in the world” and that “There is no God but one.”
  3. But not everyone possesses this knowledge. 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, it is defiled.
  4. 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?
  5. You know that when you were pagans, somehow or other you were influenced and led astray to mute idols.
