⁹ But be careful that ·your freedom [this right/authority of yours] does not ·cause those who are weak in faith to fall into sin [^Lbecome a stumbling block to the weak]. ¹⁰ Suppose one of you who has knowledge eats in an idol’s temple. Someone who ·is weak in faith [or has a weak conscience] might see you eating there and be ·encouraged [enboldened] to eat meat sacrificed to idols ·while thinking it is wrong to do so [or as a result of his weak conscience]. ¹¹ This weak ·believer [^Lbrother] for whom Christ died is ·ruined [destroyed] because of your “knowledge.” ¹² When you sin against your brothers and sisters in Christ like this and ·cause them to do what they feel is wrong [^Lwound their weak conscience], you are also sinning against Christ. ¹³ So if the food I eat causes them to fall into sin, I will never eat meat again so that I will not cause any of them to ·sin [stumble; fall into sin].
