| 1 | But of these thingis that ben sacrified to ydols, we witen, for alle we han kunnyng. But kunnyng blowith, charite edefieth. |
| 2 | But if ony man gessith, that he kan ony thing, he hath not yit knowe hou it bihoueth hym to kunne. |
| 3 | And if ony man loueth God, this is knowun of hym. |
| 4 | But of metis that ben offrid to idols, we witen, that an idol is no thing in the world, and that ther is no God but oon. |
| 5 | For thouy ther ben summe that ben seid goddis, ethir in heuene, ether in erthe, as ther ben many goddis, and many lordis; |
| 6 | netheles to vs is o God, the fadir, of whom ben alle thingis, and we in hym; and o Lord Jhesu Crist, bi whom ben alle thingis, and we bi hym. |
| 7 | But not in alle men is kunnyng. For summen with conscience of ydol til now eten as thing offrid to idolis; and her conscience is defoulid, for it is sijk. |
| 8 | Mete comendith vs not to God; for nether we schulen faile, if we eten not, nether if we eten, we schulen haue plente. |
| 9 | But se ye, lest perauenture this your leeue be maad hurtyng to sijke men. |
| 10 | For if ony man schal se hym, that hath kunnyng, etynge in a place where idols ben worschipid, whethir his conscience, sithen it is sijke, schal not be edified to ete thingis offrid to idols? |
| 11 | And the sijk brothir, for whom Crist diede, schal perische in thi kunnyng. |
| 12 | For thus ye synnyng ayens britheren, and smytynge her sijk conscience synnen ayens Crist. |
| 13 | Wherfor if mete sclaundrith my brother, Y schal neuere ete fleisch, lest Y sclaundre my brothir. |
