The Scriptures 1998

1 Corinthians 8:6-13 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

6. for us there is one Elohim, the Father, from whom all came and for whom we live, and one Master יהושע Messiah, through whom all came and through whom we live.

7. However, not all have this knowledge. But some, being aware of the idol, until now eat it as having been offered to an idol, so their conscience, being weak, is defiled.

8. But food does not commend us to Elohim, for we are none the better if we eat, nor any worse for not eating.

9. But look to it, lest somehow this right of yours become a stumbling-block to those who are weak.

10. For if anyone sees you who have knowledge eating in an idol’s place, shall not his conscience, if he is weak, be built up to eat food offered to idols?

11. So this weak brother, for whom Messiah died, shall perish through your knowledge!

12. Now sinning in this way against the brothers, and wounding their weak conscience, you sin against Messiah.

13. Therefore, if food makes my brother stumble, I am never again going to eat meat, lest I make my brother stumble.
