1 Corinthians 8:7-10

7HoweverG235, not allG3956 peopleG3956 1have thisG3588 knowledgeG1108; but 2someG5100, being accustomedG4914 to the idolG1497 untilG2193 nowG737, eatG2068 food as ifG5613 it were sacrificedG1494 toG1494 anG1494 idolG1494; and their conscienceG4893, beingG1510 weakG772, is defiledG3435.

8NowG1161 3foodG1033 will not bringG3936 us 4closeG3936 to GodG2316; we areG5302 neitherG3777 5the worseG5302 ifG1437 we do not eatG2068, norG3777 6the betterG4052 ifG1437 we do eatG2068.

9But 7takeG991 careG991 that thisG3778 8freedomG1849 of yoursG4771 does not somehowG4458 becomeG1096 a stumblingG4348 blockG4348 to the 9weakG772.

10For ifG1437 someoneG5100 seesG3708 you, the one who hasG2192 10knowledgeG1108, diningG2621 in an idol’sG1493 templeG1493, will his conscienceG4893, if he is weakG772, not be strengthenedG3618 to eatG2068 11thingsG1494 sacrificedG1494 toG1494 idolsG1494?
