1 Corinthians 8:7-9
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
7 But this knowledge is not in all people. But some, by the accustomed-habit[a] of the idol until now, eat this food as[b] food-sacrificed-to-an-idol. And their conscience, being weak, is stained[c]. 8 But food will not bring us[d] near[e] to God— neither if we do not eat are we lacking, nor if we eat are we abounding. 9 But be watching-out that this right[f] of yours does not somehow become an opportunity-for-stumbling to the weak ones.
