1Now concerning the things sacrificed to idols (images), we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up but love builds up. 2If anyone supposes (to have an opinion, to seem, root of dogma) to have come to know anything, yet he does not know it just as it is exactly necessary to know. 3But if anyone loves God, he is known by God.

4Therefore, concerning the eating of the things sacrificed to idols, we know that an idol is nothing (none, no one) in the world and that there is no God, except one. 5For even if there are those called gods, whether in heaven or upon earth, even as there are many gods and many lords— 6But rather to us there is one God, the Father, from out of whom are all things and we unto (into, for, among) Him and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and we through Him.

7But rather not all are in this knowledge, but some being accustomed (together with habitual use/custom/ethos) to the idol until now eat of a thing as sacrificed to an idol and their conscience (persisting notion, joint-knowing/seeing) being weak is defiled (to soil, make mucky, pollute, stain). 8But food does not commend (place us in standing beside) to God, neither if we may not eat, do we come short, nor if we may eat, do we exceed over and above. 9But see (be observant/watchful, look, beware, be alert) that your authorization (a right, power to act, authority, latin word is licentia for license) does not somehow become a stumbling-block to those being weak. 10For if anyone sees you who has knowledge reclining at a meal in an idol-temple, will not the conscience of him being weak be upbuilt to eat the things sacrificed to idols? 11And so in your knowledge, the one being weak is destroyed, the brother for whom Christ died. 12And thus sinning against your brothers and wounding (beating, striking) their weak conscience, you sin against Christ. 13Therefore, if food snares (causes one to fall into a trap, sets a snare, causes to stumble), I should never eat meat (krea not broma-food) in this age that I might not cause to snare (greek is skandaliso, latin is scandalizem).
