1 Corinthians 8:8-13

Rotherham(i) 8 Food, indeed, will not commend us unto God,––neither, if we eat not, do we lack, nor, if we eat, do we abound. 9 But be taking heed, lest, by any means, your right, itself, become, an occasion of stumbling, unto the weak; 10 For, if anyone should see [thee] who hast knowledge, in an idol–temple, reclining, will not, his conscience, being, weak, be built up for the eating of the idol–sacrifices? 11 In fact, he that is weak, is being destroyed, by thy knowledge––the brother for whose sake Christ died. 12 But, in thus sinning against the brethren am wounding their conscience, seeing it is weak, against Christ, are ye sinning. 13 Therefore, if food is an occasion of stumbling unto my brother, in nowise will I eat flesh unto the age that abideth,––that, I may not occasion, my brother, to stumble.
