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.
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.
8:8
ወመብልዕሰኢያሰልጠነበኀበእግዚአብሔርበሊዕኒኢያረብሐነወኢያነክየነ።
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。
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.
8:9
ወባሕቱዑቁባዕድኢይስሐትበርእየዚኣክሙ።
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。
But be careful that by no means does this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to the weak.
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?
8:11
ወይመውትዝኩድኩመልብበርእየዚኣከእኁነዘበእንቲኣሁሞተክርስቶስ።
因此，基督為他死的那軟弱弟兄，也就因你的知識沉淪了。
And through your knowledge, he who is weak perishes, the brother for whose sake Christ died.
8:12
ወለእመከመዝትኤብሱላዕለቢጽክሙወታወድቁልቦሙለድኩማንለክርስቶስኬአበስክሙ።
你們這樣得罪弟兄們，傷了他們軟弱的良心，就是得罪基督。
Thus, sinning against the brothers, and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ.
8:13
ወእመሰእንበይነመብልዕይስሕትቢጽየኢይበልዕሥጋለዝሉፉከመኢያስሕትቢጽየ።
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。
Therefore, if food causes my brother to stumble, I will eat no meat forever more, that I don’t cause my brother to stumble.
