1 Corinthians 8:8-10

Expanded Bible

⁸ But food will not ·bring us closer [make us acceptable] to God. Refusing to eat does not make us ·less pleasing to God [any worse; ^Llacking], and eating does not make us ·better in God’s sight [any better; ^Labounding].

⁹ But be careful that ·your freedom [this right/authority of yours] does not ·cause those who are weak in faith to fall into sin [^Lbecome a stumbling block to the weak]. ¹⁰ Suppose one of you who has knowledge eats in an idol’s temple. Someone who ·is weak in faith [or has a weak conscience] might see you eating there and be ·encouraged [enboldened] to eat meat sacrificed to idols ·while thinking it is wrong to do so [or as a result of his weak conscience].
