2If any man thinketh that he knoweth anything, he knoweth not yet as he ought to know;

3but if any man loveth God, the same is known by him.

4Concerning therefore the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that no idol is [anything] in the world, and that there is no God but one.

5For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or on earth; as there are gods many, and lords many;

6yet to us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we unto him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we through him.

7Howbeit there is not in all men that knowledge: 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: neither, if we eat not, are we the worse; nor, if we eat, are we the better.
