1 Corinthians 8:1--9:27

8:1

Now
<1161>

as touching
<4012>

things offered unto idols
<1494>_,

we know
<1492> (5758)

that
<3754>

we all
<3956>

have
<2192> (5719)

knowledge
<1108>_.

Knowledge
<1108>

puffeth up
<5448> (5719)_,

but
<1161>

charity
<26>

edifieth
<3618> (5719)_.

8:2

And
<1161>

if any man
<1536>

think
<1380> (5719)

that he knoweth
<1492> (5760)

any thing
<5100>_,

he knoweth
<1097> (5758)

nothing
<3762>

yet
<3764>

as
<2531>

he ought
<1163> (5748)

to know
<1097> (5629)_.

8:3

But
<1161>

if any man
<1536>

love
<25> (5719)

God
<2316>_,

the same
<3778>

is known
<1097> (5769)

of
<5259>

him
<846>_.

8:4

As concerning
<4012>

therefore
<3767>

the eating
<1035>

of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols
<1494>_,

we know
<1492> (5758)

that
<3754>

an idol
<1497>

[is] nothing
<3762>

in
<1722>

the world
<2889>_,

and
<2532>

that
<3754>

[there is] none
<3762>

other
<2087>

God
<2316>

but
<1508>

one
<1520>_.

8:5

For
<1063>

though
<1512> <2532>

there be
<1526> (5748)

that are called
<3004> (5746)

gods
<2316>_,

whether
<1535>

in
<1722>

heaven
<3772>

or
<1535>

in
<1909>

earth
<1093>_,

(as
<5618>

there be
<1526> (5748)

gods
<2316>

many
<4183>_,

and
<2532>

lords
<2962>

many
<4183>,)

8:6

But
<235>

to us
<2254>

[there is but] one
<1520>

God
<2316>_,

the Father
<3962>_,

of
<1537>

whom
<3739>

[are] all things
<3956>_,

and
<2532>

we
<2249>

in
<1519>

him
<846>_;

and
<2532>

one
<1520>

Lord
<2962>

Jesus
<2424>

Christ
<5547>_,

by
<1223>

whom
<3739>

[are] all things
<3956>_,

and
<2532>

we
<2249>

by
<1223>

him
<846>_.

{in: or, for}

8:7

Howbeit
<235>

[there is] not
<3756>

in
<1722>

every man
<3956>

that knowledge
<1108>_:

for
<1161>

some
<5100>

with conscience
<4893>

of the idol
<1497>

unto
<2193>

this hour
<737>

eat
<2068> (5719)

[it] as
<5613>

a thing offered unto an idol
<1494>_;

and
<2532>

their
<846>

conscience
<4893>

being
<5607> (5752)

weak
<772>

is defiled
<3435> (5743)_.

8:8

But
<1161>

meat
<1033>

commendeth
<3936> (5719)

us
<2248>

not
<3756>

to God
<2316>_:

for
<1063>

neither
<3777>_,

if
<1437>

we eat
<5315> (5632)_,

are we the better
<4052> (5719)_;

neither
<3777>_,

if
<3362> (0)

we eat
<5315> (5632)

not
<3362>_,

are we the worse
<5302> (5743)_.

{are we the better: or, have we the more} {are we the worse: or, have we the less}

8:9

But
<1161>

take heed
<991> (5720)

lest
<3381>

by any means
<4458>

this
<3778>

liberty
<1849>

of yours
<5216>

become
<1096> (5638)

a stumblingblock
<4348>

to them that are weak
<770> (5723)_.

{liberty: or, power}

8:10

For
<1063>

if
<1437>

any man
<5100>

see
<1492> (5632)

thee
<4571>

which
<3588>

hast
<2192> (5723)

knowledge
<1108>

sit at meat
<2621> (5740)

in
<1722>

the idol's temple
<1493>_,

shall
<3618> (0)

not
<3780>

the conscience
<4893>

of him
<846>

which is
<5607> (5752)

weak
<772>

be emboldened
<3618> (5701) <1519>

to eat
<2068> (5721)

those things which are offered to idols
<1494>_;

{emboldened: Gr. edified}

8:11

And
<2532>

through
<1909>

thy
<4674>

knowledge
<1108>

shall
<622> (0)

the weak
<770> (5723)

brother
<80>

perish
<622> (5689)_,

for
<1223>

whom
<3739>

Christ
<5547>

died
<599> (5627)_?

8:12

But
<1161>

when ye sin
<264> (5723)

so
<3779>

against
<1519>

the brethren
<80>_,

and
<2532>

wound
<5180> (5723)

their
<846>

weak
<770> (5723)

conscience
<4893>_,

ye sin
<264> (5719)

against
<1519>

Christ
<5547>_.

8:13

Wherefore
<1355>_,

if
<1487>

meat
<1033>

make
<4624> (0)

my
<3450>

brother
<80>

to offend
<4624> (5719)_,

I will eat
<5315> (5632)

no
<3364>

flesh
<2907>

while the world standeth
<1519> <165>_,

lest
<3363>

I make
<4624> (0)

my
<3450>

brother
<80>

to offend
<4624> (5661)_.

9:1

Am
<1510> (5748)

I not
<3756>

an apostle
<652>_?

am
<1510> (5748)

I not
<3756>

free
<1658>_?

have I not
<3780>

seen
<3708> (5758)

Jesus
<2424>

Christ
<5547>

our
<2257>

Lord
<2962>_?

are
<2075> (5748)

not
<3756>

ye
<5210>

my
<3450>

work
<2041>

in
<1722>

the Lord
<2962>_?

9:2

If
<1487>

I be
<1510> (5748)

not
<3756>

an apostle
<652>

unto others
<243>_,

yet
<235>

doubtless
<1065>

I am
<1510> (5748)

to you
<5213>_:

for
<1063>

the seal
<4973>

of mine
<1699>

apostleship
<651>

are
<2075> (5748)

ye
<5210>

in
<1722>

the Lord
<2962>_.

9:3

Mine
<1699>

answer
<627>

to them that do examine
<350> (5723)

me
<1691>

is
<2076> (5748)

this
<3778>_,

9:4

Have we
<2192> (5719)

not
<3378>

power
<1849>

to eat
<5315> (5629)

and
<2532>

to drink
<4095> (5629)_?

9:5

Have we
<2192> (5719)

not
<3378>

power
<1849>

to lead about
<4013> (5721)

a sister
<79>_,

a wife
<1135>_,

as well as
<5613> <2532>

other
<3062>

apostles
<652>_,

and
<2532>

[as] the brethren
<80>

of the Lord
<2962>_,

and
<2532>

Cephas
<2786>_?

{wife: or, woman}

9:6

Or
<2228>

I
<1473>

only
<3441>

and
<2532>

Barnabas
<921>_,

have
<2192> (0)

not
<3756>

we
<2192> (5719)

power
<1849>

to forbear
<3361>

working
<2038> (5738)_?

9:7

Who
<5101>

goeth a warfare
<4754> (5731)

any time at
<4218>

his own
<2398>

charges
<3800>_?

who
<5101>

planteth
<5452> (5719)

a vineyard
<290>_,

and
<2532>

eateth
<2068> (5719)

not
<3756>

of
<1537>

the fruit
<2590>

thereof
<846>_?

or
<2228>

who
<5101>

feedeth
<4165> (5719)

a flock
<4167>_,

and
<2532>

eateth
<2068> (5719)

not
<3756>

of
<1537>

the milk
<1051>

of the flock
<4167>_?

9:8

Say I
<2980> (5719)

these things
<5023>

as
<3361> <2596>

a man
<444>_?

or
<2228>

saith
<3004> (5719)

not
<3780>

the law
<3551>

the same
<5023>

also
<2532>_?

9:9

For
<1063>

it is written
<1125> (5769)

in
<1722>

the law
<3551>

of Moses
<3475>_,

Thou shalt
<5392> (0)

not
<3756>

muzzle
<5392> (5692)

the mouth of the ox
<1016>

that treadeth out the corn
<248> (5723)_.

<3361>

Doth
<3199> (0)

God
<2316>

take care
<3199> (5719)

for oxen
<1016>_?

9:10

Or
<2228>

saith he
<3004> (5719)

[it] altogether
<3843>

for
<1223> (0)

our
<2248>

sakes
<1223>_?

For
<1223> (0)

our
<2248>

sakes
<1223>_,

no doubt
<1063>_,

[this] is written
<1125> (5648)_:

that
<3754>

he that ploweth
<722> (5723)

should
<3784> (5719)

plow
<722> (5721)

in
<1909>

hope
<1680>_;

and
<2532>

that he that thresheth
<248> (5723)

in hope
<1680>

should be partaker
<3348> (5721)

of
<1909>

his
<846>

hope
<1680>_.

9:11

If
<1487>

we
<2249>

have sown
<4687> (5656)

unto you
<5213>

spiritual things
<4152>_,

[is it] a great thing
<3173>

if
<1487>

we
<2249>

shall reap
<2325> (5692)

your
<5216>

carnal things
<4559>_?

9:12

If
<1487>

others
<243>

be partakers
<3348> (5719)

of [this] power
<1849>

over you
<5216>_,

[are] not
<3756>

we
<2249>

rather
<3123>_?

Nevertheless
<235>

we have
<5530> (0)

not
<3756>

used
<5530> (5662)

this
<5026>

power
<1849>_;

but
<235>

suffer
<4722> (5719)

all things
<3956>_,

lest
<3363>

we should
<1325> (5632) <5100>

hinder
<1464>

the gospel
<2098>

of Christ
<5547>_.

9:13

Do ye
<1492> (0)

not
<3756>

know
<1492> (5758)

that
<3754>

they which minister
<2038> (5740)

about holy things
<2413>

live
<2068> (5719)

[of the things] of
<1537>

the temple
<2411>_?

and they which wait
<4332> (5723)

at the altar
<2379>

are partakers
<4829> (5736)

with the altar
<2379>_?

{live: or, feed}

9:14

Even
<2532>

so
<3779>

hath
<1299> (0)

the Lord
<2962>

ordained
<1299> (5656)

that they which preach
<2605> (5723)

the gospel
<2098>

should live
<2198> (5721)

of
<1537>

the gospel
<2098>_.

9:15

But
<1161>

I
<1473>

have used
<5530> (5662)

none
<3762>

of these things
<5130>_:

<1161>

neither
<3756>

have I written
<1125> (5656)

these things
<5023>_,

that
<2443>

it should be
<1096> (0)

so
<3779>

done
<1096> (5638)

unto
<1722>

me
<1698>_:

for
<1063>

[it were] better
<3123>

for me
<3427>

to die
<599> (5629) <2570>_,

than
<2228>

that
<2443>

any man
<5100>

should make
<2758> (0)

my
<3450>

glorying
<2745>

void
<2758> (5661)_.

9:16

For
<1063>

though
<1437>

I preach the gospel
<2097> (5735)_,

I
<3427>

have
<2076> (5748)

nothing
<3756>

to glory of
<2745>_:

for
<1063>

necessity
<318>

is laid upon
<1945> (5736)

me
<3427>_;

yea
<1161>_,

woe
<3759>

is
<2076> (5748)

unto me
<3427>_,

if
<3362> (0)

I preach
<2097> (0)

not
<3362>

the gospel
<2097> (5735)_!

9:17

For
<1063>

if
<1487>

I do
<4238> (5719)

this thing
<5124>

willingly
<1635>_,

I have
<2192> (5719)

a reward
<3408>_:

but
<1161>

if
<1487>

against my will
<210>_,

a dispensation
<3622>

[of the gospel] is committed unto me
<4100> (5769)_.

9:18

What
<5101>

is
<2076> (5748)

my
<3427>

reward
<3408>

then
<3767>_?

[Verily] that
<2443>_,

when I preach the gospel
<2097> (5734)_,

I may make
<5087> (5661)

the gospel
<2098>

of Christ
<5547>

without charge
<77>_,

that
<1519>

I abuse
<2710> (5664)

not
<3361>

my
<3450>

power
<1849>

in
<1722>

the gospel
<2098>_.

9:19

For
<1063>

though I be
<5607> (5752)

free
<1658>

from
<1537>

all
<3956>

[men], yet have I made
<1402> (0)

myself
<1683>

servant
<1402> (5656)

unto all
<3956>_,

that
<2443>

I might gain
<2770> (5661)

the more
<4119>_.

9:20

And
<2532>

unto the Jews
<2453>

I became
<1096> (5633)

as
<5613>

a Jew
<2453>_,

that
<2443>

I might gain
<2770> (5661)

the Jews
<2453>_;

to them that are under
<5259>

the law
<3551>_,

as
<5613>

under
<5259>

the law
<3551>_,

that
<2443>

I might gain
<2770> (5661)

them that are under
<5259>

the law
<3551>_;

9:21

To them that are without law
<459>_,

as
<5613>

without law
<459>_,

(being
<5607> (5752)

not
<3361>

without law
<459>

to God
<2316>_,

but
<235>

under the law
<1772>

to Christ
<5547>,)

that
<2443>

I might gain
<2770> (5661)

them that are without law
<459>_.

9:22

To the weak
<772>

became I
<1096> (5633)

as
<5613>

weak
<772>_,

that
<2443>

I might gain
<2770> (5661)

the weak
<772>_:

I am made
<1096> (5754)

all things
<3956>

to all
<3956>

[men], that
<2443>

I might
<4982> (0)

by all means
<3843>

save
<4982> (5661)

some
<5100>_.

9:23

And
<1161>

this
<5124>

I do
<4160> (5719)

for
<1223> (0)

the gospel's
<2098>

sake
<1223>_,

that
<2443>

I might be
<1096> (5638)

partaker
<4791> (0)

thereof
<846>

with
<4791>

[you].

9:24

Know ye
<1492> (5758)

not
<3756>

that
<3754>

they which run
<5143> (5723)

in
<1722>

a race
<4712>

run
<5143> (5719)

all
<3956> <3303>_,

but
<1161>

one
<1520>

receiveth
<2983> (5719)

the prize
<1017>_?

So
<3779>

run
<5143> (5720)_,

that
<2443>

ye may obtain
<2638> (5632)_.

9:25

And
<1161>

every man
<3956>

that striveth for the mastery
<75> (5740)

is temperate
<1467> (5736)

in all things
<3956>_.

<3303>

Now
<3767>

they
<1565>

[do it] to
<2443>

obtain
<2983> (5632)

a corruptible
<5349>

crown
<4735>_;

but
<1161>

we
<2249>

an incorruptible
<862>_.

9:26

I
<1473>

therefore
<5106>

so
<3779>

run
<5143> (5719)_,

not
<3756>

as
<5613>

uncertainly
<84>_;

so
<3779>

fight I
<4438> (5719)_,

not
<3756>

as
<5613>

one that beateth
<1194> (5723)

the air
<109>_:

9:27

But
<235>

I keep under
<5299> (5719)

my
<3450>

body
<4983>_,

and
<2532>

bring [it] into subjection
<1396> (5719)_:

lest that by any means
<3381> <4458>_,

when I have preached
<2784> (5660)

to others
<243>_,

I myself
<846>

should be
<1096> (5638)

a castaway
<96>_.
