¹But concerning things sacrificed to idols, we know, (for we all have knowledge: knowledge puffs up, but love edifies.

¹[Ny amin'ny hena izay efa natao fanatitra tamin'ny sampy] Ary ny amin'ny hena aterina amin'ny sampy, dia fantatsika fa manana fahalalana isika rehetra. Ny fahalalana mampieboebo; fa ny fitiavana no mampandroso.

²If any one think he knows anything, he knows nothing yet as he ought to know [it].

²Fa raha misy manao azy hahalala, dia tsy mbola mahalala araka izay tokony ho fantany akory izy.

³But if any one love God, *he* is known of him):

³Fa raha misy tia an'Andriamanitra, dia izy no fantany.

⁴-- concerning then the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that an idol [is] nothing in [the] world, and that there [is] no other God save one.

⁴Ary ny amin'ny mihinana ny hena aterina amin'ny sampy, dia fantatsika fa tsinontsinona akory ny sampy amin'izao tontolo izao, ary tsy misy Andriamanitra afa-tsy Iray ihany.

⁵For and if indeed there are [those] called gods, whether in heaven or on earth, (as there are gods many, and lords many,)

⁵Fa na dia misy aza atao hoe andriamanitra, na any an-danitra, na etỳ an-tany (toy ny misy andriamanitra maro sy tompo maro);

⁶yet to us [there is] one God, the Father, of whom all things, and *we* for him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, by whom [are] all things, and *we* by him.

⁶nefa amintsika kosa dia Andriamanitra iray ihany, dia ny Ray, Izay nihavian'ny zavatra rehetra, ary ho Azy isika; ary iray ihany ny Tompo, dia Jesosy Kristy, Izay nahariana ny zavatra rehetra sady nahariana antsika koa.

⁷But knowledge [is] not in all: but some, with conscience of the idol, until now eat as of a thing sacrificed to idols; and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.

⁷Kanefa tsy ary manana izany fahalalana izany avokoa ny olona rehetra; fa ny sasany, satria zatra amin'ny sampy mandraka ankehitriny izao, dia homana ny hena ka mahatsiaro azy ho zavatra naterina tamin'ny sampy; ka dia voaloto ny fieritreretany, satria malemy.

⁸But meat does not commend us to God; neither if we should not eat do we come short; nor if we should eat have we an advantage.

⁸Fa ny hanina tsy hampaninona antsika amin'Andriamanitra; fa na dia tsy homana aza isika, dia tsy matiantoka, ary na dia homana kosa aza isika, dia tsy mahazo tombony.

⁹But see lest anywise this your right [to eat] itself be a stumbling-block to the weak.

⁹Nefa tandremo, fandrao izany fahafahanareo izany ho tonga fahatafintohinana ho an'ny malemy.

¹⁰For if any one see thee, who hast knowledge, sitting at table in an idol-house, shall not his conscience, he being weak, be emboldened to eat the things sacrificed to the idol?

¹⁰Fa raha misy mahita anao izay manam-pahalalana mipetraka mihinana ao amin'ny tempolin'ny sampy, tsy hampahasahy ny fieritreretan'ny malemy hihinana izay hena aterina amin'ny sampy koa va izany?

¹¹and the weak [one], the brother for whose sake Christ died, will perish through thy knowledge.

¹¹Fa verin'ny fahalalanao ny malemy, dia ny rahalahy izay navotan'i Kristy tamin'ny fahafatesana?

¹²Now, thus sinning against the brethren, and wounding their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ.

¹²Fa raha manota toy izany amin'ny rahalahy ianareo ka manimba ny fieritreretan'ny malemy, dia manota amin'i Kristy ianareo.Koa raha ny hanina no mahatafintohina ny rahalahiko, dia tsy hihinan-kena akory aho mandrakizay, fandrao mahatafintohina ny rahalahiko.

¹³Wherefore if meat be a fall-trap to my brother, I will eat no flesh for ever, that I may not be a fall-trap to my brother.

¹³Koa raha ny hanina no mahatafintohina ny rahalahiko, dia tsy hihinan-kena akory aho mandrakizay, fandrao mahatafintohina ny rahalahiko.
