1. In your letter you asked me about food offered to idols. All of us know something about this subject. But knowledge makes us proud of ourselves, while love makes us helpful to others.
2. In fact, people who think they know so much don't know anything at all.
3. But God has no doubts about who loves him.
4. Even though food is offered to idols, we know that none of the idols in this world are alive. After all, there is only one God.
5. Many things in heaven and on earth are called gods and lords, but none of them really are gods or lords.
6. We have only one God, and he is the Father. He created everything, and we live for him. Jesus Christ is our only Lord. Everything was made by him, and by him life was given to us.
7. Not everyone knows these things. In fact, many people have grown up with the belief that idols have life in them. So when they eat meat offered to idols, they are bothered by a weak conscience.
