## I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus ## Here the words "know" and "am persuaded" mean basically the same thing; Paul uses them to emphasize his certainty. AT: "I am certain because of my relationship with the Lord Jesus" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-doublet]]) ## except that for him who considers anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean ## This could be translated as a new sentence. AT: "But if a person thinks something is unclean, then for that person it is unclean and he should stay away from it" ## If because of food your brother is hurt ## AT: "If you hurt your fellow believer's faith over the matter of food" Here the word "your" refers to the strong in faith and "brother" refers to the weak in faith. ## you no longer walk in love ## AT: "then you are no longer showing love"
