1 А за месо што је клато идолима знамо, јер сви разум имамо. Разум, дакле, надима, а љубав поправља. 2 Ако ли ко мисли да шта зна, не зна још ништа као што треба знати. 3 А ако ко љуби Бога, Бог га је научио. 4 А за јело идолских жртава, знамо да идол није ништа на свету, и да нема другог Бога осим једног. 5 Јер ако и има који се богови зову, или на небу или на земљи, као што има много богова и много господа: 6 Али ми имамо само једног Бога Оца, од ког је све, и ми у Њему, и једног Господа Исуса Христа, кроз ког је све, и ми кроза Њ. 7 Али нема свако разума; јер неки који још и сад мисле да су идоли нешто, као идолске жртве једу, и савест њихова, слаба будући, погани се. 8 Али јело нас не поставља пред Богом: јер нити ћемо бити већи ако једемо, ни мањи ако не једемо. 9 Али се чувајте да како ова слобода ваша не постане спотицање слабима. 10 Јер ако тебе, који имаш разум, види ко у идолској цркви где седиш за трпезом, неће ли његова савест, слаба будући, ослободити се да једе идолске жртве? 11 И с твог разума погинуће слаби брат, за ког Христос умре. 12 Тако кад се грешите о браћу, и бијете њихову слабу савест, о Христа се грешите. 13 Зато, ако јело саблажњава брата мог, нећу јести меса довека, да не саблазним брата свог.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
It is necessary first to say what the meaning of this passage is: for so shall we readily comprehend the Apostle's discourse. For he that sees a charge brought against any one, except he first perceive the nature of the offence will not understand what is said. What then is it of which he was then accusing the Corinthians?

And for this reason Paul exclaimed, "Knowledge puffeth up, but love edifieth:" not that he meant to inveigh against a true knowledge of God, for in that case he would have accused himself; but, because he knew that some, puffed up by the pretence of knowledge, fall away from the love of God, and imagine that they themselves are perfect, …
For now, filled with my punishment, I had begun to desire to seem wise; yet mourned I not, but rather was puffed up with knowledge. For where was that charity building upon the "foundation" of humility, "which is Jesus Christ"?

He again, to put an end to his fears and the other's disputatiousness, says, "For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink." Is it by these, he means, that we are to be approved? As he says in another passage too, "Neither if we eat are we the better, neither if we eat not are we the worse." …

For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or on earth; yet to us there is One God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in Him; and One Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we through Him.
