If someone's work is burned up, he will suffer loss. He himself will be saved, but only as through fire.

I have applied these things to myself and Apollos because of you, brothers and sisters, so that through us you may learn "not to go beyond what is written," so that none of you will be puffed up in favor of the one against the other.

With regard to food sacrificed to idols, we know that "we all have knowledge." Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.
