Paul means that knowledge only does good in company with love. Otherwise it merely puffs a man into pride. — City of God 9.20
1 Coríntios 8:3
Paul says: "If one loves God, one is known by him." He certainly did not say "one knows God," a dangerous presumption, but "he is known by God." Elsewhere he remarks, "But now you know God," and then immediately corrects himself: "or rather you are known by God."

It is the very law of Christ that we bear one another's burdens. Moreover, by loving Christ we easily bear the weakness of another, even him whom we do not yet love for the sake of his own good qualities, for we realize that the one whom we love is someone for whom the Lord has died. — QUESTIONS 71
1 Coríntios 8:13
Those who are stronger and are not troubled by scruples are nevertheless commanded to abstain so as not to offend those who, on account of their weakness, still find abstinence necessary. — THE WAY OF LIFE OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH 71
