Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1Now concerning things 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
2But if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he doesn’t yet know as he ought to know.
2ει δε τισ δοκει ειδεναι τι ουδεπω ουδεν εγνωκεν καθωσ δει γνωναι
3But anyone who loves God is known by him.
3ει δε τισ αγαπα τον θεον ουτοσ εγνωσται υπ αυτου
4Therefore concerning the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that no idol is anything in the world, and that there is no other God but one.
4περι τησ βρωσεωσ ουν των ειδωλοθυτων οιδαμεν οτι ουδεν ειδωλον εν κοσμω και οτι ουδεισ θεοσ ετεροσ ει μη εισ
5For though there are things that are called “gods”, whether in the heavens or on earth—as there are many “gods” and many “lords”—
5και γαρ ειπερ εισιν λεγομενοι θεοι ειτε εν ουρανω ειτε επι γησ ωσπερ εισιν θεοι πολλοι και κυριοι πολλοι
6yet to us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we live through him.
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
7However, that knowledge isn’t in all men. But some, with consciousness of an idol until now, eat as of a thing sacrificed to an idol, and their conscience, being weak, 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 will not commend us to God. For neither, if we don’t eat are we the worse, nor if we eat are we the better.
8βρωμα δε ημασ ου παριστησιν τω θεω ουτε γαρ εαν φαγωμεν περισσευομεν ουτε εαν μη φαγωμεν υστερουμεθα
9But be careful that by no means does this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to the weak.
9βλεπετε δε μηπωσ η εξουσια υμων αυτη προσκομμα γενηται τοισ ασθενουσιν
10For if a man sees you who have knowledge sitting in an idol’s temple, won’t his conscience, if he is weak, be emboldened to eat things 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
11And through your knowledge, he who is weak perishes, the brother for whose sake Christ died.
11και απολειται ο ασθενων αδελφοσ επι τη ση γνωσει δι ον χριστοσ απεθανεν
12Thus, sinning against the brothers, and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ.
12ουτωσ δε αμαρτανοντεσ εισ τουσ αδελφουσ και τυπτοντεσ αυτων την συνειδησιν ασθενουσαν εισ χριστον αμαρτανετε
13Therefore, if food causes my brother to stumble, I will eat no meat forever more, that I don’t cause my brother to stumble.
13διοπερ ει βρωμα σκανδαλιζει τον αδελφον μου ου μη φαγω κρεα εισ τον αιωνα ινα μη τον αδελφον μου σκανδαλισω
