5. For and if indeed there are those called gods, whether in heaven or on earth, (as there are gods many, and lords many,)
6. yet to us there is one God, the Father, of whom all things, and we for him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.
7. But knowledge is not in all: but some, with conscience of the idol, until now eat as of a thing sacrificed to idols; and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.
8. But meat does not commend us to God; neither if we should not eat do we come short; nor if we should eat have we an advantage.
9. But see lest anywise this your right to eat itself be a stumbling-block to the weak.
