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

Worsley⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁸ But meat does not recommend us to God; for neither, if we eat, are we the better; nor the worse, if we eat not. ⁹ But see that this liberty of yours be not by any means a stumbling-block to the weak. ¹⁰ For if any one see thee, who hast knowledge, at table in an idol's temple, will not the conscience of him that is weak be encouraged to eat of the things sacrificed to idols? ¹¹ and so the weak brother, for whom Christ died, shall perish by thy knowledge? ¹² But in thus sinning against your brethren, and wounding their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ: ¹³ wherefore if meat make my brother to offend, I will never eat flesh while I breathe, least I make my brother to offend.
