God's Word Translation

1 Corinthians 8:1-6 God's Word Translation (GW)

1. Now, concerning food offered to false gods: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge makes people arrogant, but love builds them up.

2. Those who think they know something still have a lot to learn.

3. But if they love God, they are known by God.

4. Now about eating food that was offered to false gods: We know that the false gods in this world don’t really exist and that no god exists except the one God.

5. People may say that there are gods in heaven and on earth—many gods and many lords, as they would call them.

6. But for us,“There is only one God, the Father.Everything came from him, and we live for him.There is only one Lord, Jesus Christ.Everything came into being through him,and we live because of him.”
