1 Corinthians 8:9-13
New American Standard Bible
9 But (A)take care that this [a]freedom of yours does not somehow become a stumbling block to the (B)weak. 10 For if someone sees you, the one who has (C)knowledge, dining in an idol’s temple, will his conscience, if he is weak, not be strengthened to eat (D)things sacrificed to idols? 11 For through (E)your knowledge the one who is weak (F)is ruined, the brother or sister for whose sake Christ died. 12 (G)And so, by sinning against the brothers and sisters and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin (H)against Christ. 13 Therefore, (I)if food causes my brother to sin, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause my brother to sin.

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.
