⁷ However, not all [believers] have this knowledge. But some, being accustomed [throughout their lives] to [thinking of] the idol until now [as real and living], still eat food ^[a]as if it were sacrificed to an idol; and because their conscience is weak, it is defiled (guilty, ashamed).

¹⁰ For if someone sees you, a person having ^[a]knowledge, ^[b]eating in an idol’s temple, then if he is weak, will he not be encouraged to eat things sacrificed to idols [and violate his own convictions]?

¹² And when you sin against the brothers and sisters in this way and wound their weak conscience [by confusing them], you sin against Christ.
