1 Corinthians 8 - Summary

Paul addresses the question of food offered to idols, beginning with the principle that knowledge puffs up while love builds up, and affirming that an idol is nothing and there is but one God and one Lord Jesus Christ. However, he warns the knowledgeable not to use their liberty as a stumbling block to those with weak consciences, declaring that if food causes a brother to fall, he will eat no meat forever.
