1 Corinthians 8:9-13
Legacy Standard Bible
9 But (A)see to it that this [a]authority 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 built up 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 in that way, by sinning against the brothers 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—ever, so that I will not cause my brother to stumble.

1 Corinthians 8:9-13
American Standard Version
9 But take heed lest by any means this [a]liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to the weak. 10 For if a man see thee who hast knowledge sitting at meat in an idol’s temple, will not his conscience, if he is weak, [b]be emboldened to eat things sacrificed to idols? 11 For [c]through thy knowledge he that is weak perisheth, the brother for whose sake Christ died. 12 And thus, sinning against the brethren, and wounding their conscience when it is weak, ye sin against Christ. 13 Wherefore, if meat causeth my brother to stumble, I will eat no flesh for evermore, that I cause not my brother to stumble.
