Mace(i)
8 meat does not recommend us to God: if we eat, we are not the better men; if we don't eat, we are not the worse.
9 but take care that this liberty of yours does not prove a scandal to the weak.
10 for if any man see you who have a just notion of idols, sitting at table in their temple, will not the person who is wrong in his notions be incouraged to eat what is offered to idols, tho' contrary to his own opinion?
11 so that your notions may endanger the life of thy weak brother, for whom Christ died.
12 but when you thus offend against the brethren, by wounding their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.
13 wherefore if my eating makes my brother offend, I will never eat flesh rather than make my brother offend.
