1 Corinthians 8:7-10

7But this knowledge is not shared by all. And some, by being accustomed to idols in former times, eat this food as an idol sacrifice, and their conscience, because it is weak, is defiled.

8Now food will not bring us close to God. We are no worse if we do not eat and no better if we do.

9But be careful that this liberty of yours does not become a hindrance to the weak.

10For if someone weak sees you who possess knowledge dining in an idol’s temple, will not his conscience be “strengthened” to eat food offered to idols?
