- 8:1 Now concerning things sacrificed to idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.
关于祭偶像之物，我们晓得我们都有知识。知识是叫人自高自大，惟有爱建造人。
- 8:2 If anyone thinks that he knows anything, he has not yet come to know as he ought to know;
若有人自以为知道什么，按他所当知道的，他仍是不知道；
- 8:3 But if anyone loves God, this one is known by Him.
但若有人爱神，这人乃是神所知道的。
- 8:4 Therefore concerning the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world and that there is no God but one.
关于吃祭偶像之物，我们晓得偶像在世上算不得什么，也晓得神只有一位，再没有别的神。
- 8:5 For even if there are so-called gods, either in heaven or on earth, even as there are many gods and many lords,
纵然有称为神的，或在天，或在地，就如那许多的神，许多的主，
- 8:6 Yet to us there is one God, the Father, out from whom are all things, and we are unto Him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we are through Him.
在我们却只有一位神，就是父，万物都本于祂，我们也归于祂；并有一位主，就是耶稣基督，万物都是借着祂有的，我们也是借着祂有的。
- 8:7 But this knowledge is not in all men; but some, being accustomed to the idol until now, eat the food as an idol sacrifice, and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.
然而人不都有这等知识；有人直到如今还带着拜偶像的习惯感，就以为所吃的是祭偶像之物；他们的良心既然软弱，就受了玷污。
- 8:8 But food will not commend us to God; neither if we do not eat are we lacking, nor if we eat do we abound.
其实食物不能将我们荐与神，因为我们不吃也无亏缺，吃也无盈超。
- 8:9 But beware lest somehow this right of yours become a stumbling block to the weak ones.
只是你们要谨慎，恐怕你们这权利，竟成了那软弱人的绊脚石。
- 8:10 For if anyone sees you who have knowledge reclining at table in an idol temple, will not his conscience, if he is weak, be emboldened to eat the things sacrificed to the idols?
若有人见你这有知识的，在偶像的庙里坐席，这人既是软弱的，他的良心岂不放胆去吃那祭偶像之物么？
- 8:11 For the one who is weak is being destroyed by your knowledge, the brother because of whom Christ died.
因此，基督为他死的那软弱弟兄，也就被你的知识败坏了。
- 8:12 And sinning in this way against the brothers and wounding their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.
你们这样得罪弟兄们，伤了他们软弱的良心，就是得罪基督。
- 8:13 Therefore if food stumbles my brother, I shall by no means eat meat forever, that I may not stumble my brother.
所以食物若真绊跌我的弟兄，我就绝不吃肉直到永远，免得绊跌我的弟兄。
