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.

Es hat aber nicht jedermann das Wissen. Denn etliche machen sich noch ein Gewissen über dem Götzen und essen's für Götzenopfer; damit wird ihr Gewissen, weil es so schwach ist, befleckt.
Mas no en todos hay esta ciencia: porque algunos con conciencia del ídolo hasta aquí, comen como sacrificado a ídolos; y su conciencia, siendo flaca, es contaminada.
Sin embargo, no todos tienen este conocimiento. Algunos, por estar acostumbrados hasta ahora al ídolo, comen el alimento como algo sacrificado a un ídolo; y su conciencia, por ser débil, se contamina.
Mais cette connaissance n'est pas chez tous. Quelques-uns, d'après la manière dont ils envisagent encore l'idole, mangent de ces viandes comme étant sacrifiées aux idoles, et leur conscience, qui est faible, en est souillée.
Ma la conoscenza non è in tutti; anzi alcuni mangiano quelle cose infino ad ora, con coscienza dell’idolo, come cosa sacrificata all’idolo; e la lor coscienza, essendo debole, è contaminata.
Mas nem em todos há conhecimento; porque alguns até agora comem, no seu costume para com o ídolo, coisas sacrificadas ao ídolo; e a sua consciência, sendo fraca, fica contaminada.
可是,不是人人都有這知識。有人到現在因拜慣了偶像,仍以為所吃的是祭過偶像的食物;既然他們的良心軟弱,也就污穢了。
