Gen Z: 1 Corinthians 8
1Yo, when it comes to stuff offered to idols, we all know what's up. Knowledge can make you big-headed, but love builds you up, fr.
2If anyone thinks they know it all, they actually don’t know anything like they should, periodt.
3But if someone loves God, they’re definitely recognized by Him, no cap.
4So about eating food sacrificed to idols, we know that idols are just vibes, and there’s only one true God, bet.
5Even if there are “gods” out there, whether in heaven or on earth, they’re just sus; there’s only one.
6For us, there’s one God, the Father, who made everything, and we’re in Him; plus one Lord, Jesus Christ, who’s the GOAT.
7But not everyone gets this knowledge; some still feel weird about eating food offered to idols, and their conscience is weak, so it gets messed up.
8But food doesn’t change our status with God; eating doesn’t make us better or worse, it’s just chill.
9Just be careful, fam, that your freedom doesn’t trip up those who are weak.
10If someone sees you, who knows the truth, chilling and eating in an idol’s temple, won't that make the weak feel brave to eat the idol food?
11And through your knowledge, that weak bro could end up in a bad spot, and Christ died for him, fr.
12So when you mess with your brothers and hurt their weak conscience, you’re actually sinning against Christ, savage.
13So if my eating offends my brother, I won’t munch on meat while the world’s still spinning, no cap, to keep him from stumbling.
