1 Corinthians 8:5-10
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
5 Indeed, even though there may be so-called gods in heaven or on earth—as in fact there are many gods and many lords— 6 yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist.(A)
7 It is not everyone, however, who has this knowledge. Since some have become so accustomed to idols until now, they still think of the food they eat as food offered to an idol, and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.(B) 8 “Food will not bring us close to God.”[a] We are no worse off if we do not eat and no better off if we do.(C) 9 But take care that this liberty of yours does not somehow become a stumbling block to the weak.(D) 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?
