1 Corinthians 8:7 Context
5For though there bee that are called gods, whether in heauen or in earth (as there be gods many, and lords many:) 6But to vs there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him, and one Lord Iesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him. 7Howbeit there is not in euerie man that knowledge: for some with conscience of the idole vnto this houre, eate it as a thing offred vnto an idole, and their conscience being weake, is defiled. 8But meate commendeth vs not to God: for neither if we eate, are we the better: neither if wee eate not, are we the worse. 9But take heed lest by any meanes, this libertie of yours become a stumbling blocke to them that are weake.
