| 1 | περι |  | δε |  | των |  | ειδωλοθυτων |  | οιδαμεν |  | οτι |  | παντες |
|  | But concerning |  | ♦ |  | things sacrificed to idols, |  | ♦ |  | we know, |  | (for |  | all 2 |

γνωσιν |  | εχομεν |  | η |  | γνωσις |  | φυσιοι |  | η |  | δε |  | αγαπη |  | οικοδομει |  |
knowledge 4 |  | we 1 have: 3 |  | ♦ |  | knowledge |  | puffs up, |  | ♦ |  | but |  | love |  | builds up. |  |

| 2 | ει |  | δε |  | τις |  | δοκει |  | ειδεναι |  | τι |  | ουδεπω |  | ουδεν |  | εγνωκεν |
|  | But if |  | ♦ |  | anyone |  | thinks |  | to have known |  | anything, |  | nothing yet |  | ♦ |  | he has known |

καθως |  | δει |  | γνωναι |  |
according as |  | it is necessary |  | to know. |  |

| 3 | ει |  | δε |  | τις |  | αγαπα |  | τον |  | θεον |  | ουτος |  | εγνωσται |  | υπ |  | αυτου |  |
|  | But if |  | ♦ |  | anyone |  | love |  | ♦ |  | God, |  | he |  | is known |  | by |  | him:) |  |

| 4 | περι |  | της |  | βρωσεως |  | ουν |  | των |  | ειδωλοθυτων |  | οιδαμεν |  | οτι |  | ουδεν |
|  | concerning |  | the |  | eating |  | then |  | ♦ |  | of things sacrificed to idols, |  | we know |  | that |  | nothing |

ειδωλον |  | εν |  | κοσμω |  | και |  | οτι |  | ουδεις |  | θεος |  | ετερος |  | ει |  | μη |  | εις |  |
an idol |  | [is] in |  | [the] world, |  | and |  | that [there is] |  | no |  | God 2 |  | other 1 |  | except |  | ♦ |  | one. |  |

| 5 | και |  | γαρ |  | ειπερ |  | εισιν |  | λεγομενοι |  | θεοι |  | ειτε |  | εν |  | ουρανω |  | ειτε |  | επι |  | της |
|  | For even |  | ♦ |  | if indeed |  | there are |  | [those] called |  | gods, |  | whether |  | in |  | heaven |  | or |  | on |  | the |

γης |  | ωσπερ |  | εισιν |  | θεοι |  | πολλοι |  | και |  | κυριοι |  | πολλοι |  |
earth, |  | as |  | there are |  | gods |  | many |  | and |  | lords |  | many, |  |

| 6 | αλλ |  | ημιν |  | εις |  | θεος |  | ο |  | πατηρ |  | εξ |  | ου |  | τα |  | παντα |  | και |  | ημεις |
|  | but |  | to us |  | [there is] one |  | God |  | the |  | Father, |  | of |  | whom [are] |  | all things, |  | ♦ |  | and |  | we |

εις |  | αυτον |  | και |  | εις |  | κυριος |  | ιησους |  | χριστος |  | δι |  | ου |  | τα |  | παντα |  | και |
for |  | him; |  | and |  | one |  | Lord |  | Jesus |  | Christ, |  | by |  | whom [are] |  | all things, |  | ♦ |  | and |

ημεις |  | δι |  | αυτου |  |
we |  | by |  | him. |  |

| 7 | αλλ |  | ουκ |  | εν |  | πασιν |  | η |  | γνωσις |  | τινες |  | δε |  | τη |  | συνειδησει |  | του |  | ειδωλου |
|  | But |  | not |  | in |  | all [is] |  | the |  | knowledge: |  | some 2 |  | but 1 |  | ♦ |  | with conscience |  | of the |  | idol, |

εως |  | αρτι |  | ως |  | ειδωλοθυτον |  | εσθιουσιν |  | και |  | η |
until |  | now |  | as 2 of 3 |  | a 4 thing 5 sacrificed 6 to 7 an 8 idol 9 |  | eat, 1 |  | and |  | their conscience, |

συνειδησις |  | αυτων |  | ασθενης |  | ουσα |  | μολυνεται |  |
♦ |  | ♦ |  | weak 2 |  | being, 1 |  | is defiled. |  |

| 8 | βρωμα |  | δε |  | ημας |  | ου |  | παριστησιν |  | τω |  | θεω |  | ουτε |  | γαρ |  | εαν |
|  | But meat |  | ♦ |  | us |  | does not commend |  | ♦ |  | to |  | God; |  | neither 2 |  | for 1 |  | if |

φαγωμεν |  | περισσευομεν |  | ουτε |  | εαν |  | μη |  | φαγωμεν |  | υστερουμεθα |  |
we eat |  | have we an advantage; |  | neither |  | if |  | we eat not |  | ♦ |  | do we come short. |  |

| 9 | βλεπετε |  | δε |  | μηπως |  | η |  | εξουσια |  | υμων |  | αυτη |  | προσκομμα |  | γενηται |
|  | But take heed |  | ♦ |  | lest |  | ♦ |  | power 3 |  | your 2 |  | this 1 |  | an occasion of stumbling |  | become |

τοις |  | ασθενουσιν |  |
to those |  | being weak. |  |

| 10 | εαν |  | γαρ |  | τις |  | ιδη |  | σε |  | τον |  | εχοντα |  | γνωσιν |  | εν |  | ειδωλειω |
|  | For if |  | ♦ |  | anyone |  | see |  | thee, |  | who |  | hast |  | knowledge, |  | in |  | an idol-temple |

κατακειμενον |  | ουχι |  | η |  | συνειδησις |  | αυτου |  | ασθενους |  | οντος |
reclining [at table], |  | not 2 |  | the 3 |  | conscience 4 |  | of 5 him 6 |  | weak 8 |  | being 7 |

οικοδομηθησεται |  | εις |  | το |  | τα |  | ειδωλοθυτα |  | εσθιειν |  |
will be built up 1 |  | so as |  | ♦ |  | things 3 sacrificed 4 to 5 idols 6 |  | ♦ |  | to 1 eat? 2 |  |

| 11 | και |  | απολειται |  | ο |  | ασθενων |  | αδελφος |  | επι |  | τη |  | ση |  | γνωσει |  | δι |  | ον |
|  | and |  | will perish |  | the |  | weak |  | brother |  | on |  | thy knowledge, |  | ♦ |  | ♦ |  | for |  | whom |

χριστος |  | απεθανεν |  |
Christ |  | died. |  |

| 12 | ουτως |  | δε |  | αμαρτανοντες |  | εις |  | τους |  | αδελφους |  | και |  | τυπτοντες |  | αυτων |
|  | Now thus |  | ♦ |  | sinning |  | against |  | the |  | brethren, |  | and |  | wounding |  | their |

την |  | συνειδησιν |  | ασθενουσαν |  | εις |  | χριστον |  | αμαρτανετε |  |
♦ |  | conscience 2 |  | weak, 1 |  | against |  | Christ |  | ye sin. |  |

| 13 | διοπερ |  | ει |  | βρωμα |  | σκανδαλιζει |  | τον |  | αδελφον |  | μου |  | ου |  | μη |  | φαγω |
|  | Wherefore |  | if |  | meat |  | cause to 3 offend 4 |  | ♦ |  | brother 2 |  | my, 1 |  | not at all |  | ♦ |  | should I eat |

κρεα |  | εις |  | τον |  | αιωνα |  | ινα |  | μη |  | τον |  | αδελφον |  | μου |  | σκανδαλισω |  |
flesh |  | for ever, |  | ♦ |  | ♦ |  | that |  | not 3 |  | ♦ |  | brother 6 |  | my 5 |  | I 1 may 2 cause 4 to offend. |  |
