1 Corinthians 8:7 in context
- 5For though there are things that are called “gods”, whether in the heavens or on earth; as there are many “gods” and many “lords”;
- 6yet to us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we live through him.
- 7However, that knowledge isn’t in all men. But some, with consciousness of the idol until now, eat as of a thing sacrificed to an idol, and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.
- 8But food will not commend us to God. For neither, if we don’t eat, are we the worse; nor, if we eat, are we the better.
- 9But be careful that by no means does this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to the weak.
