The Biblical Antiquities of Philo (1917)
Philo
[1]RESPECTING the sacrifices of idols, we know that in all of us there is knowledge; and knowledge inflateth, but love buildeth up. [No book]
[2]But if a man think that he knows any thing, he knows nothing yet as it behoves him to know: [No book]
[3]But if a man love Aloha, this [one] is acknowledged of him. [No book]
[4]Concerning the meat of the sacrifices of idols, then, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no other God but one. [No book]
[5]For there are also who are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, as that there are gods many and lords many: [No book]
[6]But to us our One is Aloha the Father, of whom are all, and we in him; and one Lord Jeshu Meshiha, by whom are all, and we by him. [No book]
[7]But not in every man is this knowledge; for there are some who in their conscience until now [believe] that, with respect to idols, as of that which hath been sacrificed we eat. And because of weakness their conscience is defiled. [No book]
[8]But meat doth not bring us nigh to Aloha. For if we eat, we excel not; nor if we eat not, are we deficient. [No book]
[9]But beware that this your power become not a stumbling-block to the infirm ones. [No book]
[10]For if a man shall see thee in whom is knowledge reclining in the house of idols, will not his conscience, because he is weak, be confirmed to eat that which is sacrificed, [No book]
[11]And he will perish through thy knowledge? he who is weak, and on account of whom the Meshiha died. [No book]
[12]And if so you transgress against your brethren, and wound their weak consciences, do you not transgress against the Meshiha? [No book]
[13]On this account, if meat cause my brother to stumble, I will never [more] eat flesh, that I may not cause my brother to stumble. [No book]
