1 Corinthians 8:7

King James Version:

(The Lord speaking is red text)

¶ Howbeit [there is] not in every man that knowledge: for some with conscience of the idol unto this hour eat [it] as a thing offered unto an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled.

Complete Jewish Bible:

But not everyone has this knowledge. Moreover, some people are still so accustomed to idols that when they eat food which has been sacrificed to them, they think of it as really affected by the idol; and their consciences, being weak, are thus defiled.

Berean Standard Bible:

But not everyone has this knowledge. Some people are still so accustomed to idols that they eat such food as if it were sacrificed to an idol. And since their conscience is weak, it is defiled.

American Standard Version:

Howbeit there is not in all men that knowledge: but some, being used until now to the idol, eat as of a thing sacrificed to an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled.

KJV with Strong’s Numbers:

Howbeit^{G235} there is not^{G3756} in^{G1722} every man^{G3956} that knowledge^{G1108}: for^{G1161} some^{G5100} with conscience^{G4893} of the idol^{G1497} unto^{G2193} this hour^{G737} eat^{G2068} it as^{G5613} a thing offered unto an idol^{G1494}; and^{G2532} their^{G846} conscience^{G4893} being^{G5607} weak^{G772} is defiled^{G3435}.
