Adhyāya 8
ab mooraton ke samhane baali kee hui vastuon ke vishay men ham janate haai, ki ham sab ko gyaan haai: gyaan ghamand utpann karata haai, parantu praem se unnaati hotee haai.
2 yaadi koi samajhe, ki maain kuchh janata hoo, to jaaisa janana chahiae vaaisa ab tak naheen janata.
3 parantu yadi koi parameshvar se praem rakhta haai, to use parameshvar pahichanata haai.
4 so mooraton ke samhane baali kee hui vastuon ke khane ke vishay men ham janate haai, ki moorat jagat men koi vastu nahee, aur aek ko chhod aur koi parameshvar naheen.
5 yadhypi akash men aur prathvee par bahut se ishvar kahalate haai, jaaisa ki bahut se ishvar or bahut se prabhu haain.
6 taubhee hamare nikatt to aek hee parameshvar haai: arthata pita jis kee or se sab vastuen haai, aur ham usee ke liye haai, aur aek hee prabhu haai, arthata yeeshu maseeh jis ke dara sab vastuaen hui, aur ham bhee usee ke dara haain.
7 parantu sab ko yah gyaan nahee parantu kitane to ab tak moorat ko kuchh samajhne ke karan mooraton ke samhane bali kee hui ko kuchh vastu samajhkar khate haai, aur un ka vivek nirbal hokar ashuuddh hota haai.
8 bhejan hamen parameshvar ke nikatt naheen pahunchata, yadi ham n khana, to hamaree kuchh haani nahee, aur yadi khaae, to kuchh labh naheen.
9 parantu chaukas raho, aeesa n ho, ki tumharee yah svatantrata kaheen nirbalon ke liye ttokar ka karan ho jaae.
10 kyeanki yadi koi tujh gyaanee ko moorat ke mandair men bhojan karate dekhe, aur vah nirbal jan ho, to kya usake vivek men moorat ke samhane bali kee hui vastu ke khane ka hiyav n ho jaaega.
11 is reeati se tere gyaan ke karan vah nirbal bhai jis ke liye maseeh mara nash ho jaaega.
12 so bhaiyon ka aparadha karane se or un ke nirbal vivek ko chott dene se tum maseeh ka aparadha karate ho.
13 is karan yadi bhojan mere bhai ko ttokar khailaa, to maain kabhee kisee reeati se mans n khaunga, n ho ki maain apane bhai ke ttokar ka karan banoon.
