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,惟有爱心能造就人。Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth.
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。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.
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,万物都是藉着他有的,我们也是藉着他有的。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.
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。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.
