1 Corinthians 8:7-13

Bible Text

[7] However, that knowledge isn't in all men. But some, with consciousness of the idol until now, eat as of a thing sacrificed to an idol, and their conscience, being weak, is defiled. [8] But food will not commend us to God. For neither, if we don't eat, are we the worse; nor, if we eat, are we the better. [9] But be careful that by no means does this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to the weak. [10] For if a man sees you who have knowledge sitting in an idol's temple, won't his conscience, if he is weak, be emboldened to eat things sacrificed to idols? [11] And through your knowledge, he who is weak perishes, the brother for whose sake Christ died. [12] Thus, sinning against the brothers, and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ. [13] Therefore, if food causes my brother to stumble, I will eat no meat forevermore, that I don't cause my brother to stumble.
