2But if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he doesn`t yet know as he ought to know.
3But if anyone loves God, the same is known by him.
4Therefore concerning the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that no idol is anything in the world, and that there is no other God but one.
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 to him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we through him.
7However, that knowledge isn`t in all men. But some, being used until now to the idol, 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.
