7 But the knowledge is not in all. And some, by habit of the idol until now, eat such as a thing sacrificed to an idol; and their conscience being weak, it is defiled. 8 But food will not commend us to God; neither if we should eat do we fall short, nor if we should not eat do we excel. 9 But take care, lest somehow this authority of yours? become a stumbling block to the weak. 10 For if anyone should see you, the one having knowledge, reclining in an idol’s temple, will not the conscience of him being weak be built up to eat the things sacrificed to idols? 11 For the one being weak is destroyed by your knowledge—the brother for whom Christ died. 12 And thus sinning against the brothers and wounding their conscience, it being weak, you? sin against Christ. 13 Therefore, if food causes my brother to stumble, never shall I eat meat to the age, so that I shall not cause my brother to stumble. 1 Corinthians 8:7-13, Berean Literal Bible.
