Ad Corinthios Epistula I
Sancti Pauli Apostoli

I Corinthios, chapter 8, Vulgate and King James Version

Chapter 8

Vulgate


   1 De idolothytis autem, scimus quia omnes scientiam habemus. Scientia inflat, caritas vero aedificat.
   2 Si quis se existimat scire aliquid, nondum cognovit, quemadmodum oporteat eum scire;
   3 si quis autem diligit Deum, hic cognitus est ab eo.
   4 De esu igitur idolothytorum, scimus quia nullum idolum est in mundo, et quod nullus deus nisi Unus.
   5 Nam et si sunt, qui dicantur dii sive in caelo sive in terra, si quidem sunt dii multi et domini multi,
   6 nobis tamen unus Deus Pater, ex quo omnia et nos in illum, et unus Dominus Iesus Christus, per quem omnia et nos per ipsum.
   7 Sed non in omnibus est scientia; quidam autem consuetudine usque nunc idoli quasi idolothytum manducant, et conscientia ipsorum, cum sit infirma, polluitur.
   8 Esca autem nos non commendat Deo; neque si non manducaverimus, deficiemus, neque si manducaverimus, abundabimus.
   9 Videte autem, ne forte haec licentia vestra offendiculum fiat infirmis.
   10 Si enim quis viderit eum, qui habet scientiam, in idolio recumbentem, nonne conscientia eius, cum sit infirma, aedificabitur ad manducandum idolothyta?
   11 Peribit enim infirmus in tua scientia, frater, propter quem Christus mortuus est!
   12 Sic autem peccantes in fratres et percutientes conscientiam eorum infirmam, in Christum peccatis.
   13 Quapropter si esca scandalizat fratrem meum, non manducabo carnem in aeternum, ne fratrem meum scandalizem.

King James Version


   1 Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth.
   2 And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know.
   3 But if any man love God, the same is known of him.
   4 As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is none other God but one.
   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.
   9 But take heed lest by any means this liberty of your's become a stumblingblock to them that are weak.
   10 For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol's temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols;
   11 And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died?
   12 But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ.
   13 Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend.
