1 Corinthians 8:8-13 But food does not commend us to God; for neither if we eat do we have more, nor if we do not eat do we lack.

CAB⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁸ But food does not commend us to God; for neither if we eat do we have more, nor if we do not eat do we lack. ⁹ But beware lest somehow this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to those who are weak. ¹⁰ For if anyone should see you who has knowledge dining in an idol's temple, will not his conscience, being weak, be strengthened so that they eat foods offered to idols? ¹¹ And because of your knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for the sake of whom Christ died? ¹² But when you thus sin against the brothers, and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ. ¹³ Wherefore, if food causes my brother to stumble, I will by no means eat meat, lest I cause my brother to stumble.
