1 Corinthians 8:1-8

1 Corinthians 8:1 Now concerning things offered to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love edifies.

1 Corinthians 8:2 And if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he knows nothing yet as he ought to know.

1 Corinthians 8:3 But if anyone loves God, this one is known by Him.

1 Corinthians 8:4 Therefore concerning the eating of things offered to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no other God but one.

1 Corinthians 8:5 For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as there are many gods and many lords),

1 Corinthians 8:6 yet for 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 through whom we live.

1 Corinthians 8:7 However, there is not in everyone that knowledge; for some, with consciousness of the idol, until now eat it as a thing offered to an idol; and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.

1 Corinthians 8:8 But food does not commend us to God; for neither if we eat are we the better, nor if we do not eat are we the worse.

Love: agape {ag-ah'-pay}

1) affection, good will, benevolence
2) love feasts

Knowledge: gnosis {gno'-sis}

1) general intelligence, understanding
2) moral wisdom, such as is seen in right living


Prayer:

Lord, thank You that Your love is our edification.

I will live and do all things through Christ.
