1 Corinthians 8:2-4
New English Translation

2 If someone thinks he knows something, he does not yet know to the degree that he needs to know. 3 But if someone loves God, he[a] is known by God.[b]

4 With regard then to eating food sacrificed to idols, we know that “an idol in this world is nothing,” and that “there is no God but one.”[c]

Footnotes

  1. 1 Corinthians 8:3 tn Grk “this one.”
  2. 1 Corinthians 8:3 tn Grk “him”; in the translation the most likely referent (God) has been specified for clarity.
  3. 1 Corinthians 8:4 sn “An idol in this world is nothing” and “There is no God but one.” Here and in v. 1 Paul cites certain slogans the Corinthians apparently used to justify their behavior (cf. 6:12-13; 7:1; 10:23). Paul agrees with the slogans in part, but corrects them to show how the Corinthians have misused these ideas.
