1Corinthians
8:1 Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all
have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but charity edifies.
1Corinthians
8:3 But if any man love God the same is known of him.
1Corinthians
8:4 As concerning therefore the eating of those things that
are offered in sacrifice unto
idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world and that there
is none other God but one.
1Corinthians
8:5 For though there be that are called Gods, whether in heaven or
in Earth, as there be Gods many and lords many,
1Corinthians
8:6 But to us there is but one
God, the Father, of whom are all
things and we in him
and Emmanuel the Christ.(also
called the Word:.1John
1:1-3).by whom.are
all things and we by him.(*).
Emmanuel
(Jesus) came to
reveal that He had a Father and was connected to the Father and that
can be our pathway as well.
1Corinthians
8:7 Howbeit there is not in every
man that knowledge. For some with conscience of the idol unto this
hour eat it as a thing offered unto an idol and their conscience being
weak is defiled.(Titus
1:15).
1Corinthians
8:8-10 But meat.(any
kind of food).commends us not
to God, for neither if we eat are we the better; neither if we eat not
are we the worse. But take heed
lest by any means this liberty
of yours become a stumbling
block to them that are weak. For if any man see you which has knowledge.(the
knowledge that an idol is not real, has no power).sit
at meat in the idol's temple, shall not the conscience of him which is
weak be emboldened
to eat those things which are offered to idols;
1Corinthians
8:11 And through your knowledge.(that
is, improper
use of knowledge that, in itself, is correct; acting with no wisdom toward
another).shall the weak brother
perish.(takes
a step back while thinking it's a step forward), for whom
Christ died?
comprised from.Adam
Clarke's Commentary:.this
person being first taught by your conduct that there was no harm in thus
eating what he believes is some sort of a worshipping to a real idol, that
is an idol that has power to affect his life, he thereby.grieves
the Spirit of God:.Ephesians
4:30 "And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby your redemption
is sealed unto this day."
1Corinthians
8:12 But when you sin so against the brethren and wound their weak
conscience, you sin against Christ.(Matthew
Poole's Commentary: which is being against love by acting contrary
to the judgment of his own conscience;.Robertson
Word Pictures:."a
poor use to put one's superior knowledge, as danger follows in
the wake of daredevil knowledge").
1Corinthians
8:13 Wherefore, if meat make my brother.(not
his actual brother but speaking generally
here of being in the same family, that
of Christ).to offend.(verses
7-10), I will eat no flesh while the world stands, lest
I make my brother to offend..(love
is more important than teaching truths to someone they may not be ready
for, as it can throw him off his particular path of faith:.Romans
14:19-23; some newbies
walk slowly and carefully at first as a baby first learning to walk)
