Yesterday we framed Paul’s question — can a Christian eat meat sacrificed to an idol? And we saw that the question really probes something deeper — when my freedom in Christ might wound a brother, what do I do? Today Paul lays his first principle on the table, and it is one of the most important sentences in the entire New Testament.

Listen to 1 Corinthians 8, verses 1 through 3, in the Contemporary English Version:

“In your letter you asked me about food offered to idols. All of us know something about this subject. But knowledge makes us proud of ourselves, while love makes us helpful to others. In fact, people who think they know so much don’t know anything at all. But God has no doubts about who loves him.”
