1 Corinthians 8:4-13 Therefore in respect to the eating of things offered to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world: and that there is no other God but one.

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Therefore in respect to the eating of things offered to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world: and that there is no other God but one. ⁵ for though there are nominal gods both in heaven and on earth, as there are many gods and many lords; ⁶ yet to us there is out one God, the father of all, of whom are all things and we for him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things and we by him. ⁷ But all have not this knowledge; and some, with the consciousness of regard for the idol, even to this time eat meat as sacrificed to an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled. ⁸ Now food doth not recommend us to God. For if we eat we are not the better; nor are we the worse if we do not eat. ⁹ But take heed that this liberty of yours do not prove a stumbling block to the weak. ¹⁰ For if one seeth thee who hast knowledge seated at table in an idol temple, will not the conscience of him who is weak be emboldened to eat the idol sacrifice? ¹¹ And shall the weak brother, for whom Christ died, be destroyed for thy knowledge? ¹² When you sin thus against the brethren and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ. ¹³ Wherefore if meat cause my brother to stumble, I will never eat flesh that I may not cause my brother to stumble.
