¹Eta idoley sacrificatzen diraden gaucéz den becembatean, badaquigu ecen guciéc eçagutze badugula: eçagutzeac hancen du, baina charitateac edificatzen.

¹And concerning the things sacrificed to idols, we have known that we all have knowledge: knowledge puffeth up, but love buildeth up;

²Eta baldin edoceinec vste badu cerbait badaquiala, eztu oraino eçagutu deus eçagutu behar den beçala.

²and if any one doth think to know anything, he hath not yet known anything according as it behoveth [him] to know;

³Baina baldin cembeitec Iaincoari on badaritza, hura harçaz iracatsi içan da.

³and if any one doth love God, this one hath been known by Him.

⁴Bada idoley sacrificatzen diraden gaucén iateaz den becembatean, badaquigu ecen deus eztela idolá munduan, eta eztela berce Iaincoric bat baicen.

⁴Concerning the eating then of the things sacrificed to idols, we have known that an idol [is] nothing in the world, and that there is no other God except one;

⁵Ecen iainco deitzen diradenac badirade-ere, bada ceruän bada lurrean (nola anhitz iainco baita, eta anhitz iaun )

⁵for even if there are those called gods, whether in heaven, whether upon earth — as there are gods many and lords many —

⁶Baina guc Iainco Aitabat dugu, ceinaganic baitirade gauça guciac, eta gu hartan: eta Iaun-bat, Iesus Christ, ceinez baitirade gauça guciac, eta gu harçaz.

⁶yet to us [is] one God, the Father, of whom [are] the all things, and we to Him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom [are] the all things, and we through Him;

⁷Baina ezta gucietan eçagutzea, ecen batzuc idolaren conscientiarequin oraindrano, idoley sacrificatutic beçala iaten duté: eta hayén conscientiá nola ezpaita fermu, satsutzen da.

⁷but not in all men [is] the knowledge, and certain with conscience of the idol, till now, as a thing sacrificed to an idol do eat [it], and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.

⁸Bada viandác ezgaitu Iaincoaren gogaracotzenago: ecen ian badeçagu-ere, ezgara vkansuago: eta ian ezpadeçagu-ere, eztugu gutiago.

⁸But victuals do not commend us to God, for neither if we may eat are we in advance; nor if we may not eat, are we behind;

⁹Baina beguirauçue çuen puissança hori infirmo diradeney nolazpait scandalotan eztén.

⁹but see, lest this privilege of yours may become a stumbling-block to the infirm,

¹⁰Ecen baldin norbeitec ikus baheça hi eçagutze duanor, iarriric agoela idolén templeco mahainean, infirmo denaren conscientiá ezta instruituren idolari sacrificatu diraden gaucetaric iatera?

¹⁰for if any one may see thee that hast knowledge in an idol`s temple reclining at meat — shall not his conscience — he being infirm — be emboldened to eat the things sacrificed to idols,

¹¹Eta hire eçagutze horreçaz galduren da anaye infirmo dena, ceinagatic Christ hil içan baita?

¹¹and the brother who is infirm shall perish by thy knowledge, because of whom Christ died?

¹²Bada hunela anayén contra bekatu eguiten duçuenean, eta hayén conscientia infirmoa çaurtzen duçuenean, Christen contra bekatu eguiten duçue.

¹²and thus sinning in regard to the brethren, and smiting their weak conscience — in regard to Christ ye sin;

¹³Halacotz, baldin viandác ene anayea scandalizatzen badu, eztut ianen haraguiric seculan, neure anayea scandaliza ezteçadançát.

¹³wherefore, if victuals cause my brother to stumble, I may eat no flesh — to the age — that my brother I may not cause to stumble.
