¹Now concerning things sacrificed to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.

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

²But if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he doesn’t yet know as he ought to know.

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

³But if anyone loves God, the same is known by him.

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

⁴Therefore 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.

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

⁵For though there are things that are called “gods,” whether in the heavens or on earth; as there are many “gods” and many “lords”;

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

⁹But be careful that by no means does this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to the weak.

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

¹⁰For 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?

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

¹¹And through your knowledge, he who is weak perishes, the brother for whose sake Christ died.

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

¹²Thus, sinning against the brothers, and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ.

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

¹³Therefore if food causes my brother to stumble, I will eat no meat forevermore, that I don’t cause my brother to stumble.

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