1 Corinthians 8:7-13

New American Standard Bible

⁷ However, not all people ^(A)have this knowledge; but ^(B)some, being accustomed to the idol until now, eat food as if it were sacrificed to an idol; and their conscience, being weak, is defiled. ⁸ Now ^(C)food will not bring us ^[a]close to God; we are neither ^[b]the worse if we do not eat, nor ^[c]the better if we do eat. ⁹ But ^(D)take care that this ^[d]freedom of yours does not somehow become a stumbling block to the ^(E)weak. ¹⁰ For if someone sees you, the one who has ^(F)knowledge, dining in an idol’s temple, will his conscience, if he is weak, not be strengthened to eat ^(G)things sacrificed to idols? ¹¹ For through ^(H)your knowledge the one who is weak ^(I)is ruined, the brother or sister for whose sake Christ died. ^12 (J)And so, by sinning against the brothers and sisters and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin ^(K)against Christ. ¹³ Therefore, ^(L)if food causes my brother to sin, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause my brother to sin.
