8. But food does not commend us to God. Neither if we eat are we the better, nor if we do not eat are we the worse.
9. But take heed, lest by any means this liberty of yours becomes a stumbling block to those who are weak.
10. For if anyone sees you, who have knowledge, eating in the idol’s temple, shall the conscience of him who is weak not be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols,
11. and by your knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died?
12. When you thus sin against the brothers, wounding their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.
13. Therefore, if food causes my brother to stumble, I will never eat meat, lest I cause my brother to stumble.
