1 Corinthians 8:5-8
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 8
5
For even if there are so-called gods whether in heaven or on earth, as indeed there are many gods and many lords,
6
yet for us there is
only
one God, the Father, from whom are all things, and we
exist
for Him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we
exist
through Him.
7
However, not all people have this knowledge; but some, being accustomed to the idol until now, eat
food
as if it were sacrificed to an idol; and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.
8
Now food will not bring us close to God; we are neither the worse if we do not eat, nor the better if we do eat.
King James Version
Chapter 8
5
For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,)
6
But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.
7
Howbeit there is not in every man that knowledge: for some with conscience of the idol unto this hour eat it as a thing offered unto an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled.
8
But meat commendeth us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 8
5
For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth—as there are many "gods" and many "lords"—
6
yet for us there is one God, the Father. All things are from him, and we exist for him. And there is one Lord, Jesus Christ. All things are through him, and we exist through him.
7
However, not everyone has this knowledge. Some have been so used to idolatry up until now that when they eat food sacrificed to an idol, their conscience, being weak, is defiled.
8
Food will not bring us close to God. We are not worse off if we don’t eat, and we are not better if we do eat.
New Living Translation
Chapter 8
5
There may be so-called gods both in heaven and on earth, and some people actually worship many gods and many lords.
6
But for us,
There is one God, the Father,
by whom all things were created,
and for whom we live.
And there is one Lord, Jesus Christ,
through whom all things were created,
and through whom we live.
7
However, not all believers know this. Some are accustomed to thinking of idols as being real, so when they eat food that has been offered to idols, they think of it as the worship of real gods, and their weak consciences are violated.
8
It’s true that we can’t win God’s approval by what we eat. We don’t lose anything if we don’t eat it, and we don’t gain anything if we do.
English Standard Version
Chapter 8
5
For although there may be so-called gods in heaven or on earth — as indeed there are many "gods" and many "lords" —
6
yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist.
7
However, not all possess this knowledge. But some, through former association with idols, eat food as really offered to an idol, and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.
8
Food will not commend us to God. We are no worse off if we do not eat, and no better off if we do.
New International Version
Chapter 8
5
For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as indeed there are many "gods" and many "lords"),
6
yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live.
7
But not everyone possesses this knowledge. Some people are still so accustomed to idols that when they eat sacrificial food they think of it as having been sacrificed to a god, and since their conscience is weak, it is defiled.
8
But food does not bring us near to God; we are no worse if we do not eat, and no better if we do.
New King James Version
Chapter 8
5
For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as there are many gods and many lords),
6
yet for us
there is
one God, the Father, of whom
are
all things, and we for Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom
are
all things, and through whom we
live.
7
However,
there is
not in everyone that knowledge; for some, with consciousness of the idol, until now eat
it
as a thing offered to an idol; and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.
8
But food does not commend us to God; for neither if we eat are we the better, nor if we do not eat are we the worse.
