1 Corinthians 8

DOUAI-RHEIMS	GREEK BIBLE
1 Now concerning those things that are sacrificed to idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up; but charity edifieth.	1 Περι δε των ειδωλοθυτων, εξευρομεν οτι παντες εχομεν γνωσιν, η γνωσις ομως φυσιοι, η δε αγαπη οικοδομει.
2 And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he hath not yet known as he ought to know.	2 Και εαν τις νομιζη οτι εξευρει τι, δεν εμαθεν οτι ουδεν καθως πρεπει να μαθη?
3 But if any any love God, the same is known by him.	3 αλλ' εαν τις αγαπα τον Θεον, ουτος γνωριζεται υπ' αυτου.
4 But as for the meats that are sacrificed to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no God but one.	4 Περι της βρωσεως λοιπον των ειδωλοθυτων, εξευρομεν οτι το ειδωλον ειναι ουδεν εν τω κοσμω, και οτι δεν υπαρχει ουδεις αλλος Θεος ειμη εις.
5 For although there be that are called gods, either in heaven or on earth (for there be gods many, and lords many);	5 Διοτι αν και ηναι λεγομενοι θεοι ειτε εν τω ουρανω ειτε επι της γης, καθως και ειναι θεοι πολλοι και κυριοι πολλοι,
6 Yet to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we unto him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.	6 αλλ' εις ημας ειναι εις Θεος ο Πατηρ, εξ ου τα παντα και ημεις εις αυτον, και εις Κυριος Ιησους Χριστος, δι' ου τα παντα και ημεις δι' αυτου.
7 But there is not knowledge in every one. For some until this present, with conscience of the idol: eat as a thing sacrificed to an idol, and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.	7 Αλλα δεν ειναι εις παντας η γνωσις αυτη? τινες δε δια την συνειδησιν του ειδωλου εως σημερον τρωγουσι το ειδωλοθυτον ως ειδωλοθυτον, και η συνειδησις αυτων ασθενης ουσα μολυνεται.
8 But meat doth not commend us to God. For neither, if we eat, shall we have the more; nor, if we eat not, shall we have the less.	8 το φαγητον ομως δεν συνιστα ημας εις τον Θεον? διοτι ουτε εαν φαγωμεν περισσευομεν, ουτε εαν δεν φαγωμεν ελαττουμεθα.
9 But take heed lest perhaps this your liberty become a stumblingblock to the weak.	9 Πλην προσεχετε μηπως αυτη η εξουσια σας γεινη προσκομμα εις τους ασθενεις.
10 For if a man see him that hath knowledge sit at meat in the idol's temple, shall not his conscience, being weak, be emboldened to eat those things which are sacrificed to idols ?	10 Διοτι εαν τις ιδη σε, τον εχοντα γνωσιν, οτι καθησαι εις τραπεζαν εντος ναου ειδωλων, δεν θελει ενθαρρυνθη η συνειδησις αυτου, ασθενουντος, εις το να τρωγη τα ειδωλοθυτα;
11 And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ hath died ?	11 Και δια την γνωσιν σου θελει απολεσθη ο ασθενης αδελφος, δια τον οποιον ο Χριστος απεθανεν.
12 Now when you sin thus against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.	12 Αμαρτανοντες δε ουτως εις τους αδελφους και προσβαλλοντες την ασθενη συνειδησιν αυτων, εις τον Χριστον αμαρτανετε.
13 Wherefore, if meat scandalize my brother, I will never eat flesh, lest I should scandalize my brother.	13 Δια τουτο, εαν το φαγητον σκανδαλιζη τον αδελφον μου, δεν θελω φαγει κρεας εις τον αιωνα, δια να μη σκανδαλισω τον αδελφον μου.
