For through thy knowledge he that is weak perisheth, the brother for whose sake Christ died.
For if because of meat thy brother is grieved, thou walkest no longer in love. Destroy not with thy meat him for whom Christ died.
Wherefore, if meat causeth my brother to stumble, I will eat no flesh for evermore, that I cause not my brother to stumble.\par
even as I also please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the {\i profit} of the many, that they may be saved.\par
Work not for the food which perisheth, but for the food which abideth unto eternal life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him the Father, {\i even} God, hath sealed.}
Concerning therefore the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that no idol is {\i anything} in the world, and that there is no God but one.
