1 Corinthians 8 · Grade 2
Think of Your Friend
Read the Story
In Corinth, people gave food to pretend gods. Then the food was sold. Some Christians wanted to know if they could eat it.
Paul said there is only one God. A pretend god is nothing. Some Christians knew this. But some still felt bad about eating the food.
Paul said love builds up. He said to care about how a friend feels. Do not do something that makes a friend fall into wrong. Love is better than being right.
Memory Verse
“Now concerning things sacrificed to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.”
