1 Corinthians 8:2-4
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
2 If anyone thinks that he has come-to-know anything, he did not-yet know as he ought-to know. 3 But if one loves[a] God, this one has been known by Him. 4 Therefore concerning the eating of the foods-sacrificed-to-idols— we know that an idol is nothing[b] in the world, and that there is no God except one.
