1 Corinthians 8:4-13

4Therefore, concerning the eating of 1food sacrificed to idols, we know that an 2idol is 3nothing at all in the world, and that 4there is no God but one. 5For even if 5there are so-called gods whether in heaven or on earth, as indeed there are many gods and many lords, 6yet for us 6there is only one God, 7the Father, 8from whom are all things, and we exist for Him; and 9one Lord, Jesus Christ, 10by whom are all things, and we exist through Him.

7However, not all people 11have this knowledge; but 12some, being accustomed to the idol until now, eat food as if it were sacrificed to an idol; and their conscience, being weak, is defiled. 8Now 13food will not bring us 14close to God; we are neither 15the worse if we do not eat, nor 16the better if we do eat. 9But 17take care that this 18freedom of yours does not somehow become a stumbling block to the 19weak. 10For if someone sees you, the one who has 20knowledge, dining in an idol’s temple, will his conscience, if he is weak, not be strengthened to eat 21things sacrificed to idols? 11For through 22your knowledge the one who is weak 23is ruined, the brother or sister for whose sake Christ died. 1224And so, by sinning against the brothers and sisters and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin 25against Christ. 13Therefore, 26if food causes my brother to sin, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause my brother to sin.
