1 Corinthians 8:7-13 ▼

7 But euery man hath not knowledge: For some hauing conscience of the idol vntill this houre, eate as a thing offred vnto idols, and so their conscience being weake, is defiled.

8 But meate maketh vs not acceptable to God: For neither if we eate, haue we the more, neither if we eate not, haue we the lesse.

9 But take heede lest by any meanes this libertie of yours be an occasion of falling, to them that are weake.

10 For if any man see thee which hast knowledge, sit at meate in the idols temple: shal not the conscience of him which is weake, be boldened to eate those thinges which are offred to idols,

11 And through thy knowledge shal the weake brother perishe, for whom Christe dyed?

12 When ye sinne so against the brethren, and wounde their weake conscience, ye sinne against Christe.

13 Wherefore, if meate offend my brother, I wyll eate no fleshe whyle the worlde standeth, lest I shoulde offende my brother.
