1 Corinthians 8:9-13
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
9 But make sure that this liberty of yours in no way becomes a stumbling block to the weak.(A) 10 If someone sees you, with your knowledge, reclining at table in the temple of an idol, may not his conscience too, weak as it is, be “built up” to eat the meat sacrificed to idols? 11 Thus through your knowledge, the weak person is brought to destruction, the brother for whom Christ died.(B) 12 When you sin in this way against your brothers and wound their consciences, weak as they are, you are sinning against Christ. 13 [a](C)Therefore, if food causes my brother to sin, I will never eat meat again, so that I may not cause my brother to sin.
