1 Corinthians 8:9-13
New American Standard Bible 1995
9 But (A)take care that this [a]liberty of yours does not somehow become a stumbling block to the (B)weak. 10 For if someone sees you, who have (C)knowledge, dining in an idol’s temple, will not his conscience, if he is weak, be strengthened to eat (D)things sacrificed to idols? 11 For through (E)your knowledge he who is weak (F)is ruined, the brother for whose sake Christ died. 12 (G)And so, by sinning against the brethren and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin (H)against Christ. 13 Therefore, (I)if food causes my brother to stumble, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause my brother to stumble.

New International Version
9 Be careful, however, that the exercise of your rights does not become a stumbling block(A) to the weak.(B) 10 For if someone with a weak conscience sees you, with all your knowledge, eating in an idol’s temple, won’t that person be emboldened to eat what is sacrificed to idols?(C) 11 So this weak brother or sister, for whom Christ died, is destroyed(D) by your knowledge. 12 When you sin against them(E) in this way and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.(F) 13 Therefore, if what I eat causes my brother or sister to fall into sin, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause them to fall.(G)
