8:1 [hgb] 论 到 祭 偶 像 之 物 , 我 们 晓 得 我 们 都 有 知 识 。 但 知 识 是 叫 人 自 高 自 大 , 惟 有 爱 心 能 造 就 人 。
[kjv] Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth.
[bbe] Now about things offered to images: we all seem to ourselves to have knowledge. Knowledge gives pride, but love gives true strength.
8:2 [hgb] 若 有 人 以 为 自 己 知 道 什 么 , 按 他 所 当 知 道 的 , 他 仍 是 不 知 道 。
[kjv] And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know.
[bbe] If anyone seems to himself to have knowledge, so far he has not the right sort of knowledge about anything;
8:3 [hgb] 若 有 人 爱 神 , 这 人 乃 是 神 所 知 道 的 。
[kjv] But if any man love God, the same is known of him.
[bbe] But if anyone has love for God, God has knowledge of him.

[bbe] For though there are those who have the name of gods, in heaven or on earth, as there are a number of gods and a number of lords,
