Who singles you out, my brother? What do you possess that has not been given you? And if it was given you, why do you boast as if it had been gained, not given?

With regard to food that has been offered to idols. Here, of course, 'we all possess knowledge'! Knowledge puffs up, love builds up.

Whoever imagines he has attained to some degree of knowledge, does not possess the true knowledge yet;

I may distribute all I possess in charity, I may give up my body to be burnt, but if I have no love, I make nothing of it.
