1 Corinthians 8:7-10

7However not all men 1have this knowledge; but 2some, being accustomed to the idol until now, eat food as if it were sacrificed to an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled.

8But 3food will not 4commend us to God; we are neither 5the worse if we do not eat, nor 6the better if we do eat.

9But 7take care that this 8liberty of yours does not somehow become a stumbling block to the 9weak.

10For if someone sees you, who have 10knowledge, dining in an idol’s temple, will not his conscience, if he is weak, be strengthened to eat 11things sacrificed to idols?
