1 Corinthians 8:7 in context

  1. 5For though there are things that are called “gods”, whether in the heavens or on earth; as there are many “gods” and many “lords”;
  2. 6yet 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.
  3. 7However, that knowledge isn’t in all men. But some, with consciousness of the idol until now, eat as of a thing sacrificed to an idol, and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.
  4. 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.
  5. 9But be careful that by no means does this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to the weak.
