1 Corinzi 8:2

2 Ora, se alcuno si pensa saper qualche cosa, non sa ancora nulla, come si convien sapere.

1 Corinzi 8:2 Meaning and Commentary

1 Corinthians 8:2

And if any man think that he knows anything
Whoever has an opinion of himself, or is conceited with his own knowledge, and fancies that he knows more than he does; which is always the case of those that are elated with their knowledge, and treat others with contempt, and have no regard to their peace and edification:

he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know;
if he did, he would know this, that he ought to consult the peace, comfort, and edification of his brother; and therefore whatever knowledge he may fancy he has attained to, or whatever he may be capable of, and hereafter obtain, for the present he must be put down for a man that knows nothing as he should do; for he knows neither his duty to God nor man; if he knew the former, he would know the latter.

5 Perciocchè, benchè ve ne sieno, ed in cielo, ed in terra, di quelli che son nominati dii secondo che vi son molti dii, e molti signori,
