1 Corinthians 8:7-13

7But not everyone knows this. Some people are so used to worshiping false gods that they believe they are eating food offered to a false god. So they feel guilty because their conscience is weak.

8Food will not affect our relationship with God. We are no worse off if we eat ⌞that food⌟ and no better off if we don’t.

9But be careful that by using your freedom you don’t somehow make a believer who is weak in faith fall into sin.

10For example, suppose someone with a weak conscience sees you, who have this knowledge, eating in the temple of a false god. Won’t you be encouraging that person to eat food offered to a false god?

11In that case, your knowledge is ruining a believer whose faith is weak, a believer for whom Christ died.

12When you sin against other believers in this way and harm their weak consciences, you are sinning against Christ.

13Therefore, if eating food ⌞offered to false gods⌟ causes other believers to lose their faith, I will never eat that kind of food so that I won’t make other believers lose their faith.
