Now concerning sacrifices to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.

If I were to speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become as sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.

does not behave indecently, does not seek its own, is not easily provoked, thinks no evil;

For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.

And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world.
