1 Corinthians 8:8-13

LITV(i) 8 But food will not commend us to God. For neither if we eat do we excel, nor if we do not eat are we behind. 9 But be careful lest this authority of yours become a cause of stumbling to the weak ones. 10 For if anyone sees you, the one having knowledge, sitting in an idol-temple, will not the weak one's conscience be lifted up so as to eat things sacrificed to idols? 11 And on your knowledge the weak brother will fall, he for whom Christ died. 12 And sinning in this way against your brothers, and wounding their conscience, being weak, you sin against Christ. 13 On account of this, if food offends my brother, I will not at all eat flesh forever, so that I do not offend my brother.
