1 Corinthians 8:8-13 But food does not commend us to God. For neither if we eat are we the better, nor if we do not eat are we the worse.

MKJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁸ But food does not commend us to God. For 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 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 Therefore, if food offends my brother, I will eat no flesh forever, that I do not offend my brother.
