哥林多前書 8
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1論到祭偶像之物，我們曉得我們都有知識。但知識是叫人自高自大，惟有愛心能造就人。
1Now concerning those things that are sacrificed to idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up; but charity edifieth.
2若有人以為自己知道甚麼，按他所當知道的，他仍是不知道。
2And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he hath not yet known as he ought to know.
3若有人愛上帝，這人乃是上帝所知道的。
3But if any any love God, the same is known by him.
4論到吃祭偶像之物，我們知道偶像在世上算不得甚麼，也知道上帝只有一位，再沒有別的上帝。
4But as for the meats that are sacrificed to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no God but one.
5雖有稱為神的，或在天，或在地，就如那許多的神，許多的主；
5For although there be that are called gods, either in heaven or on earth (for there be gods many, and lords many).
6然而我們只有一位上帝，就是父－萬物都本於他；我們也歸於他－並有一位主，就是耶穌基督－萬物都是藉着他有的；我們也是藉着他有的。
6Yet to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we unto him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.
7但人不都有這等知識。有人到如今因拜慣了偶像，就以為所吃的是祭偶像之物。他們的良心既然軟弱，也就污穢了。
7But there is not knowledge in every one. For some until this present, with conscience of the idol: eat as a thing sacrificed to an idol, and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.
8其實食物不能叫上帝看中我們，因為我們不吃也無損，吃也無益。
8But meat doth not commend us to God. For neither, if we eat, shall we have the more; nor, if we eat not, shall we have the less.
9只是你們要謹慎，恐怕你們這自由竟成了那軟弱人的絆腳石。
9But take heed lest perhaps this your liberty become a stumblingblock to the weak.
10若有人見你這有知識的，在偶像的廟裏坐席，這人的良心若是軟弱，豈不放膽去吃那祭偶像之物嗎？
10For if a man see him that hath knowledge sit at meat in the idol’s temple, shall not his conscience, being weak, be emboldened to eat those things which are sacrificed to idols?
11因此，基督為他死的那軟弱弟兄，也就因你的知識沉淪了。
11And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ hath died?
12你們這樣得罪弟兄們，傷了他們軟弱的良心，就是得罪基督。
12Now when you sin thus against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.
13所以，食物若叫我弟兄跌倒，我就永遠不吃肉，免得叫我弟兄跌倒了。
13Wherefore, if meat scandalize my brother, I will never eat flesh, lest I should scandalize my brother.
