(1) But concerning the things slain for idols: we know that there is a knowledge in us all. (The) knowledge exalteth, but [the] love edifieth.	(1) Περὶ δὲ τῶν εἰδωλοθύτων, οἴδαμεν ὅτι πάντες γνῶσιν ἔχομεν. ἡ γνῶσις φυσιοῖ, ἡ δὲ ἀγάπη οἰκοδομεῖ.

(ⲇ̅) ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲛⲓϧⲣⲏⲟⲩⲓ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲛ̀ⲧⲉ ⲛⲓϣⲱⲧ ⲛ̀ⲓⲇⲱⲗⲟⲛ ⲧⲉⲛⲉⲙⲓ ϫⲉ ϩⲗⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲛ̀ⲓⲇⲱⲗⲟⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϫⲉ ⲙ̀ⲙⲟⲛ ϩⲗⲓ ⲛ̀ⲛⲟⲩϯ ⲉ̀ⲃⲏⲗ ⲉ̀ⲟⲩⲁⲓ	(ⲇ︦) ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲟⲩⲱⲙ ϭⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ϣⲱⲱⲧ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲉⲓⲇⲱⲗⲟⲛ ⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲉⲓⲇⲱⲗⲟⲛ ϩⲙ̅ ⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ϫⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ ⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁ ⲟⲩⲁ.	(4) Concerning the meats, then, of the things slain for idols, we know that (an) idol is nothing in the world , and that there is no God except one.	(4) Περὶ τῆς βρώσεως οὖν τῶν εἰδωλοθύτων οἴδαμεν ὅτι οὐδὲν εἴδωλον ἐν κόσμῳ, καὶ ὅτι οὐδεὶς θεὸς εἰ μὴ εἷς.

(5) For even if there are some being called God,' whether in (the) heaven, or upon the earth; as there are many gods and many lords.	(5) καὶ γὰρ εἴπερ εἰσὶν λεγόμενοι θεοὶ εἴτε ἐν οὐρανῷ εἴτε ἐπὶ γῆς, ὥσπερ εἰσὶν θεοὶ πολλοὶ καὶ κύριοι πολλοί,

(6) But to us (pron.) one is God the Father, through whom are all things, and we also into him; one is our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we also through him.	(6) ἀλλʼ ἡμῖν εἷς θεὸς ὁ πατήρ, ἐξ οὗ τὰ πάντα καὶ ἡμεῖς εἰς αὐτόν, καὶ εἷς κύριος Ἰησοῦς Χριστός, διʼ οὗ τὰ πάντα καὶ ἡμεῖς διʼ αὐτοῦ.

(7) But (the) knowledge (is) not in all. For some up to now in the custom of the idols eat it as a thing slain for idols; and their conscience being weak unto them is polluted.	(7) Ἀλλʼ οὐκ ἐν πᾶσιν ἡ γνῶσις· τινὲς δὲ τῇ συνηθείᾳ ἕως ἄρτι τοῦ εἰδώλου ὡς εἰδωλόθυτον ἐσθίουσιν, καὶ ἡ συνείδησις αὐτῶν ἀσθενὴς οὖσα μολύνεται.

(8) βρῶμα δὲ ἡμᾶς οὐ παραστήσει τῷ θεῷ· οὔτε γὰρ ἐὰν φάγωμεν, περισσεύομεν, οὔτε ἐὰν μὴ φάγωμεν, ὑστερούμεθα.

(10) should one see thee, namely he who hath (the) knowledge, reclining in a place of idols. Will 'nct his conscience, being of one weak, be encouraged a to cause him to eat a thing slain for idols?	(10) ἐὰν γάρ τις ἴδῃ σὲ τὸν ἔχοντα γνῶσιν ἐν εἰδωλείῳ κατακείμενον, οὐχὶ ἡ συνείδησις αὐτοῦ ἀσθενοῦς ὄντος οἰκοδομηθήσεται εἰς τὸ τὰ εἰδωλόθυτα ἐσθίειν;

(11) For he who is weak is destroyed in thy knowledge, the brother for whom Christ died.	(11) ἀπόλλυται γὰρ ὁ ἀσθενῶν ἐν τῇ σῇ γνώσει, ὁ ἀδελφὸς διʼ ὃν Χριστὸς ἀπέθανεν.
