Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1Now about food sacrificed to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.
1περι δε των ειδωλοθυτων οιδαμεν οτι παντεσ γνωσιν εχομεν η γνωσισ φυσιοι η δε αγαπη οικοδομει
2The one who thinks he knows something does not yet know as he ought to know.
2ει δε τισ δοκει ειδεναι τι ουδεπω ουδεν εγνωκεν καθωσ δει γνωναι
3But the one who loves God is known by God.
3ει δε τισ αγαπα τον θεον ουτοσ εγνωσται υπ αυτου
4So 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.
4περι τησ βρωσεωσ ουν των ειδωλοθυτων οιδαμεν οτι ουδεν ειδωλον εν κοσμω και οτι ουδεισ θεοσ ετεροσ ει μη εισ
5For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as there are many so-called gods and lords),
5και γαρ ειπερ εισιν λεγομενοι θεοι ειτε εν ουρανω ειτε επι γησ ωσπερ εισιν θεοι πολλοι και κυριοι πολλοι
6yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we exist. And there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we exist.
6αλλ ημιν εισ θεοσ ο πατηρ εξ ου τα παντα και ημεισ εισ αυτον και εισ κυριοσ ιησουσ χριστοσ δι ου τα παντα και ημεισ δι αυτου
7But not everyone has this knowledge. Some people are still so accustomed to idols that they eat such food as if it were sacrificed to an idol. And since their conscience is weak, it is defiled.
7αλλ ουκ εν πασιν η γνωσισ τινεσ δε τη συνειδησει του ειδωλου εωσ αρτι ωσ ειδωλοθυτον εσθιουσιν και η συνειδησισ αυτων ασθενησ ουσα μολυνεται
8But food does not bring us closer to God: We are no worse if we do not eat, and no better if we do.
8βρωμα δε ημασ ου παριστησιν τω θεω ουτε γαρ εαν φαγωμεν περισσευομεν ουτε εαν μη φαγωμεν υστερουμεθα
9Be careful, however, that your freedom does not become a stumbling block to the weak.
9βλεπετε δε μηπωσ η εξουσια υμων αυτη προσκομμα γενηται τοισ ασθενουσιν
10For if someone with a weak conscience sees you who are well informed eating in an idol’s temple, will he not be encouraged to eat food sacrificed to idols?
10εαν γαρ τισ ιδη σε τον εχοντα γνωσιν εν ειδωλειω κατακειμενον ουχι η συνειδησισ αυτου ασθενουσ οντοσ οικοδομηθησεται εισ το τα ειδωλοθυτα εσθιειν
11So this weak brother, for whom Christ died, is destroyed by your knowledge.
11και απολειται ο ασθενων αδελφοσ επι τη ση γνωσει δι ον χριστοσ απεθανεν
12By sinning against your brothers in this way and wounding their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.
12ουτωσ δε αμαρτανοντεσ εισ τουσ αδελφουσ και τυπτοντεσ αυτων την συνειδησιν ασθενουσαν εισ χριστον αμαρτανετε
13Therefore, if what I eat causes my brother to stumble, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause him to stumble.
13διοπερ ει βρωμα σκανδαλιζει τον αδελφον μου ου μη φαγω κρεα εισ τον αιωνα ινα μη τον αδελφον μου σκανδαλισω
