God’s Word Translation
1 Corinthians 8:8-13
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.
