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
Common English Bible
9 But watch out or else this freedom of yours might be a problem for those who are weak. 10 Suppose someone sees you (the person who has knowledge) eating in an idol’s temple. Won’t the person with a weak conscience be encouraged to eat the meat sacrificed to false gods? 11 The weak brother or sister for whom Christ died is destroyed by your knowledge. 12 You sin against Christ if you sin against your brothers and sisters and hurt their weak consciences this way. 13 This is why, if food causes the downfall of my brother or sister, I won’t eat meat ever again, or else I may cause my brother or sister to fall.
