Food offered to idols

holy bible book,

1 Now I will write about the meat of the sacrifice which is offered to idols. We know that “we all have knowledge.” Knowledge fills you with pride. But love helps you to be stronger than others.
1 Corinthians 8: 1

2 A person who thinks he knows something does not know what he should know.
1 Corinthians 8: 2

3 But he who loves God knows him.
1 Corinthians 8: 3

4 Wherefore I say unto the idols, This is the way of eating flesh: for we know that idolatry is nothing in the world. We also know that there is only one God.
1 Corinthians 8: 4

5 It doesn’t really matter that some things on earth and in the sky are called gods. Many people call such things “gods” or “lords.”
1 Corinthians 8: 5

6 But we have only one God. He is our Father. Everything has come from Him and we live for Him alone. There is only one Lord. He is Jesus Christ. All things are created through him, and we also live through him.
1 Corinthians 8: 6

7 But not all people know this. Some people are still in the habit of worshiping idols. So when they eat this meat, they feel like it belongs to an idol. They do not know whether it is right to eat this meat or not. So when they eat this meat, they think they are doing wrong.
1 Corinthians 8: 7

8 But food does not bring us closer to God. By not eating meat, we do not lose anything or by eating, we do not gain anything.
1 Corinthians 8: 8

9 But beware of your freedom. Your own faith can make people weak.
1 Corinthians 8: 9

10 You have understanding, so you feel free to eat in the temple of idols. A person with a weak faith may see you eating there. This will also encourage him to eat the meat offered to the idols. But he actually misunderstands it.
1 Corinthians 8:10

11 So this weak brother can be destroyed because of your knowledge. And Christ was sacrificed for this brother.
1 Corinthians 8:11

12 When you cause your brothers and sisters in Christ to do something they think is wrong, you are sinning against them and hurting them. Then you are also sinning against Christ.
1 Corinthians 8:12

13 Therefore I will never again eat the flesh that I have caused my brother to fall into sin. I will stop eating meat so that I will not let my brother and sister fall into sin.
1 Corinthians 8:13

The promise of the Lord’s coming

holy bible book,

1 This is my second letter to you, my friends. I have written these two letters to you to think honestly, to encourage, and to remember these things.
2 Peter 3: 1

2 I want you to remember the words spoken by the holy prophets in the past. This commandment was given to us by our Lord and Savior through your apostles.
2 Peter 3: 2

3 It is important for you to know what will happen in the last days. People will do evil things according to their own desires. They will laugh at you.
2 Peter 3: 3

4 They will say, “He promised to come again. Where is he Our ancestors are dead. But the world has been running the way it has since it was created.
2 Peter 3: 4

5 But these people do not like to remember what happened long ago. The sky was there, and God made the earth with water and with water. All of this is made possible by His Word.
2 Peter 3: 5

6 The world was flooded and destroyed by the water.
2 Peter 3: 6

7 The same word of God which holds the heavens and the earth which we have now. They are being kept for destruction by fire. They will be kept until the Day of Judgment and for the destruction of those who turn against God.
2 Peter 3: 7

8 But my dear friends. Don’t forget this one thing. For the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years is like a day.
2 Peter 3: 8

9 The Lord is not slow to do what he has promised, as some people think. But God is patient with you. God does not want anyone to be destroyed. He wants everyone to change and stop sinning.
2 Peter 3: 9

10 The coming of the Lord will be as wonderful as a thief coming. With a loud voice the sky will disappear and everything in the sky will be destroyed by fire. The earth and everything on it will be burned.
2 Peter 3:10

11 In this way, as I have told you, everything will be destroyed. So think what kind of people should you be? You must live a holy life and talk about serving God.
2 Peter 3:11

12 You must wait for the day of the Lord, and look forward to it. When that day comes, the sky will be destroyed by fire, and everything in it will melt because of the heat.
2 Peter 3:12

13 But as God promised, we are waiting for new heavens and a new earth where righteousness will dwell.
2 Peter 3:13
