7 But not in all, knowledge: and some with consciousness of the idol even till now eat as a sacrifice to idols: and their consciousness being weak is contaminated. 8 And food sets us not before God: for neither, if we eat, do we abound; neither if we eat not, do we want. 9 And see ye lest this your power be a stumble to the weak. 10 For if any one see thee having knowledge reclining in the idol's temple, shall not his consciousness, being weak, be built up to eat the sacrifices to idols; 11 And shall the weak brother be destroyed upon thy knowledge, for whom Christ died? 12 And so sinning against the brethren, and striking their weak consciousness, ye sin against Christ. 13 Wherefore, if food offend my brother, I will eat no flesh forever, lest I shall offend my brother. 1 Corinthians 8:7-13, Smith's Literal Translation.
