1 Corinthians 8:8-13
8NowG1161 1foodG1033 will not bringG3936 us 2closeG3936 to GodG2316; we areG5302 neitherG3777 3the worseG5302 ifG1437 we do not eatG2068, norG3777 4the betterG4052 ifG1437 we do eatG2068.
9But 5takeG991 careG991 that thisG3778 6freedomG1849 of yoursG4771 does not somehowG4458 becomeG1096 a stumblingG4348 blockG4348 to the 7weakG772.
10For ifG1437 someoneG5100 seesG3708 you, the one who hasG2192 8knowledgeG1108, diningG2621 in an idol’sG1493 templeG1493, will his conscienceG4893, if he is weakG772, not be strengthenedG3618 to eatG2068 9thingsG1494 sacrificedG1494 toG1494 idolsG1494?
11For throughG1722 10your knowledgeG1108 the one who is weakG770 11is ruinedG622, the brotherG80 or sister for whoseG3739 sakeG1223 ChristG5547 diedG599.
1212And soG3779, by sinningG264 againstG1519 the brothersG80 and sisters and woundingG5180 their conscienceG4893 when it is weakG770, you sinG264 13againstG1519 ChristG5547.
13ThereforeG1355, 14ifG1487 foodG1033 causesG4624 my brotherG80 toG4624 sinG4624, I will neverG3756G3361 eatG2068 meatG2907 againG165, soG2443 thatG2443 I will not causeG4624 my brotherG80 toG4624 sinG4624.
