1 Corinthians 8:9-13

New International Version

⁹Be careful, however, that the exercise of your rights does not become a stumbling block^(A) to the weak.^(B) ¹⁰For if someone with a weak conscience sees you, with all your knowledge, eating in an idol’s temple, won’t that person be emboldened to eat what is sacrificed to idols?^(C) ¹¹So this weak brother or sister, for whom Christ died, is destroyed^(D) by your knowledge. ¹²When you sin against them^(E) in this way and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.^(F) ¹³Therefore, if what I eat causes my brother or sister to fall into sin, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause them to fall.^(G)

1 Corinthians 8:9-13

New American Standard Bible

⁹But ^(A)take care that this ^[a]freedom of yours does not somehow become a stumbling block to the ^(B)weak. ¹⁰For 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? ¹¹For 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. ¹³Therefore, ^(I)if food causes my brother to sin, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause my brother to sin.
