1 Corinthians 8

DOUAI-RHEIMS	Biblija Hrvatski
1 Now concerning those things that are sacrificed to idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up; but charity edifieth.	1 U pogledu mesa žrtvovana idolima, znamo, svi posjedujemo znanje. Ali znanje nadima, a ljubav izgrađuje.
2 And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he hath not yet known as he ought to know.	2 Ako tko misli da što zna, još ne zna kako treba znati.
3 But if any any love God, the same is known by him.	3 A ljubi li tko Boga, Bog ga poznaje.
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 Dakle, u pogledu blagovanja mesa žrtvovana idolima, znamo: nema idola na svijetu i nema Boga do Jednoga.
5 For although there be that are called gods, either in heaven or on earth (for there be gods many, and lords many);	5 Jer sve kad bi i bilo nazovibogova ili na nebu ili na zemlji – kao što ima mnogo »bogova« i mnogo »gospodara«! –
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 nama je jedan Bog, Otac, od koga je sve, a mi za njega; i jedan Gospodin, Isus Krist, po kome je sve, i mi po njemu.
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 Ali nemaju svi toga znanja. Neki, navikli na idole, još jedu meso kao idolima žrtvovano i njihova se savjest kalja jer je nejaka.
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 A k Bogu nas ne privodi jelo. Niti što gubimo ako ne jedemo; niti što dobivamo ako jedemo.
9 But take heed lest perhaps this your liberty become a stumblingblock to the weak.	9 A pazite da ne bi možda ta vaša sloboda bila spoticaj nejakima.
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 Jer vidi li tko tebe koji imaš znanje za stolom u hramu idolskomu, neće li se njegova savjest, jer je nejaka, »izgraditi« da jede žrtvovano idolima?
11 And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ hath died ?	11 I s tvoga znanja propada nejaki, brat za kojega je Krist umro.
12 Now when you sin thus against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.	12 Tako griješeći protiv braće i ranjavajući njihovu nejaku savjest, protiv Krista griješite.
13 Wherefore, if meat scandalize my brother, I will never eat flesh, lest I should scandalize my brother.	13 Zato ako jelo sablažnjava brata moga, ne, neću jesti mesa dovijeka da brata svoga ne sablaznim.
