1 Corinthians 8:8-13 But meat commendeth us not to God: for neither if we eat, are we the better; neither if we eat not, are we the worse.

Whiston⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁸ But meat commendeth us not to God: for neither if we eat, are we the better; neither if we eat not, are we the worse. ⁹ But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to them that are weak. ¹⁰ For if any man see thee who hast knowledge sit at meat in the idols temple, shall not the conscience of him who is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols? ¹¹ And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died? ¹² But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ. ¹³ Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend.
