How do we know knowledge without love is dangerous?

Answered in 1 source

Knowledge without love is dangerous because it leads to arrogance and can harm weaker believers' consciences.

Paul warns that knowledge, when divorced from love, can puff up individuals and lead them to dismiss or offend weaker brethren. This arrogance can manifest in a lack of compassion, where stronger believers might disregard the spiritual struggles of others. Love is vital because it constrains knowledge to serve others, ensuring that one’s actions promote unity rather than division. The call is to mature in faith, which means using knowledge to build up, rather than to boast or create stumbling blocks for others.
