9 But take care that this liberty of yours does not somehow become a stumbling block to the weak.(A) 10 For if others see you, who possess knowledge, eating in the temple of an idol, might they not, since their conscience is weak, be encouraged to the point of eating food sacrificed to idols? 11 So by your knowledge the weak brother or sister for whom Christ died is destroyed.(B) 12 But when you thus sin against brothers and sisters and wound their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ. 13 Therefore, if food is a cause of their falling, I will never again eat meat, so that I may not cause one of them to fall.(C)

9 Be careful, however, that the exercise of your rights does not become a stumbling block(A) to the weak.(B) 10 For 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) 11 So this weak brother or sister, for whom Christ died, is destroyed(D) by your knowledge. 12 When you sin against them(E) in this way and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.(F) 13 Therefore, 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)
