8:1
De iis autem quae idolis sacrificantur, scimus quia omnes scientiam habemus. Scientia inflat, caritas vero aedificat.
Now concerning things sacrificed to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.
論到祭偶像之物,我們曉得我們都有知識。但知識是叫人自高自大,惟有愛心能造就人。
8:2
Si quis autem se existimat scire aliquid, nondum cognovit quemadmodum oporteat eum scire.
But if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he doesn’t yet know as he ought to know.
若有人以為自己知道甚麼,按他所當知道的,他仍是不知道。
8:3
Si quis autem diligit Deum, hic cognitus est ab eo.
But anyone who loves God is known by him.
若有人愛上帝,這人乃是上帝所知道的。
8:4
De escis autem quae idolis immolantur, scimus quia nihil est idolum in mundo, et quod nullus est Deus, nisi unus.
Therefore 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.
論到吃祭偶像之物,我們知道偶像在世上算不得甚麼,也知道上帝只有一位,再沒有別的上帝。
8:5
Nam etsi sunt qui dicantur dii sive in caelo, sive in terra (siquidem sunt dii multi, et domini multi) :
For though there are things that are called “gods”, whether in the heavens or on earth—as there are many “gods” and many “lords”—
雖有稱為神的,或在天,或在地,就如那許多的神,許多的主;
8:6
nobis tamen unus est Deus, Pater, ex quo omnia, et nos in illum : et unus Dominus Jesus Christus, per quem omnia, et nos per ipsum.
yet 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.
然而我們只有一位上帝,就是父-萬物都本於他;我們也歸於他-並有一位主,就是耶穌基督-萬物都是藉着他有的;我們也是藉着他有的。
8:7
Sed non in omnibus est scientia. Quidam autem cum conscientia usque nunc idoli, quasi idolothytum manducant : et conscientia ipsorum cum sit infirma, polluitur.
However, that knowledge isn’t in all men. But some, with consciousness of an idol until now, eat as of a thing sacrificed to an idol, and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.
但人不都有這等知識。有人到如今因拜慣了偶像,就以為所吃的是祭偶像之物。他們的良心既然軟弱,也就污穢了。
8:8
Esca autem nos non commendat Deo. Neque enim si manducaverimus, abundabimus : neque si non manducaverimus, deficiemus.
But 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.
其實食物不能叫上帝看中我們,因為我們不吃也無損,吃也無益。
8:9
Videte autem ne forte haec licentia vestra offendiculum fiat infirmis.
But be careful that by no means does this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to the weak.
只是你們要謹慎,恐怕你們這自由竟成了那軟弱人的絆腳石。
8:10
Si enim quis viderit eum, qui habet scientiam, in idolio recumbentem : nonne conscientia ejus, cum sit infirma, aedificabitur ad manducandum idolothyta ?
For if a man sees you who have knowledge sitting in an idol’s temple, won’t his conscience, if he is weak, be emboldened to eat things sacrificed to idols?
若有人見你這有知識的,在偶像的廟裏坐席,這人的良心若是軟弱,豈不放膽去吃那祭偶像之物嗎?
8:11
Et peribit infirmus in tua scientia, frater, propter quem Christus mortuus est ?
And through your knowledge, he who is weak perishes, the brother for whose sake Christ died.
因此,基督為他死的那軟弱弟兄,也就因你的知識沉淪了。
8:12
Sic autem peccantes in fratres, et percutientes conscientiam eorum infirmam, in Christum peccatis.
Thus, sinning against the brothers, and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ.
你們這樣得罪弟兄們,傷了他們軟弱的良心,就是得罪基督。
8:13
Quapropter si esca scandalizat fratrem meum, non manducabo carnem in aeternum, ne fratrem meum scandalizem.
Therefore, if food causes my brother to stumble, I will eat no meat forever more, that I don’t cause my brother to stumble.
所以,食物若叫我弟兄跌倒,我就永遠不吃肉,免得叫我弟兄跌倒了。
