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

Sawyer⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁸ But food does not commend us to God; for neither if we eat not are we worse, nor if we eat are we better. ⁹ But beware lest your liberty should become an offense to the weak. ¹⁰ For if any one sees you who have knowledge reclining in an idol's temple, will not the conscience of him that is weak be emboldened to eat things offered to idols? ¹¹ And will not the weak brother for whom Christ died perish by your knowledge? ¹² But when you thus sin against the brothers, and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ. ¹³ Wherefore, if food offends my brother, I will eat no meat forever, that I may not offend my brother.
