1 And concerning sacrifice to idols, we know, (for we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, and love builds the house. 2 And if any one thinks to know anything, as yet he has known nothing as he ought to know. 3 And if any one love God, the same is known of him.) 4 Concerning food therefore of sacrifices to idols, we know that an idol nothing in the world, and that none other God but one. 5 For also though they are called gods, whether in heaven, whether upon the earth, (for there are many gods, and many lords,) 6 But to us one God, the Father, of whom all things, and we for him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom all things, and we by him. 7 But not in all, knowledge: and some with consciousness of the idol even till now eat as a sacrifice to idols: and their consciousness being weak is contaminated. 8 And food sets us not before God: for neither, if we eat, do we abound; neither if we eat not, do we want. 1 Corinthians 8:1-8, Smith's Literal Translation.
