1 Corinthians 8

Under each verse is the Greek source text word by word: each word with its transliteration, English gloss, Extended Strong's number and morphology code, and the editions that contain it: NA28 (Nestle-Aland), TR (Textus Receptus), or “other” where neither does. Where the TR has a different word, it is given too. Source text: STEPBible's TAGNT (CC BY 4.0)

Tap a word to mark it throughout the chapter; a morphology code explains itself the same way (in English).

  1. 1Now as to things which have been sacrificed to idols. This is a subject which we already understand--because we all have knowledge of it. Knowledge, however, tends to make people conceited; it is love that builds us up.
