1 Corinthians 8:7-13

7ButG235 notG3756 everyoneG3956 has thisG3588 knowledgeG1108. SomeG5100 people are still so accustomedG4914G2193G737 to idolsG1497 that they eatG2068 such food as ifG5613 it were sacrificed to an idolG1494. AndG2532 since theirG846 conscienceG4893 isG1510 weakG772, it is defiledG3435. 8ButG1161 foodG1033 does not bring us closerG3756G3936G1473 toG3588 GodG2316: We are no worseG5302 ifG1437 we do not eatG3361G5315, and noG3361 better ifG1437 we doG5315.

9Be carefulG991, howeverG1161, that yourG4771 freedomG1849 does not becomeG3361G4459G1096 a stumbling blockG4348 to theG3588 weakG772. 10ForG1063 ifG1437 someoneG5100 with a weakG772 conscienceG4893 seesG3708 youG4771 whoG3588 are well informedG2192G1108 eatingG2621 inG1722 an idol’s templeG1493, will he notG3780 beG1510 encouragedG3618 toG1519 eatG2068 food sacrificed to idolsG1494? 11So this weakG770 brotherG80, forG1223 whomG3739 ChristG5547 diedG599, is destroyedG622 byG1722 yourG4674 knowledgeG1108. 12By sinningG264 againstG1519 your brothersG80 in this wayG3779 andG2532 woundingG5180 theirG846 weakG770 conscienceG4893, you sinG264 againstG1519 ChristG5547.

13ThereforeG1355, ifG1487 what I eat causesG4624 myG1473 brother to stumbleG80, I will never eatG3756G3361G5315 meatG2907 again, so thatG2443 I will not causeG3361G4624 him to stumbleG1473G80.
