⁹ But ^(A)beware lest somehow this liberty of yours become ^(B)a ^[a]stumbling block to those who are weak. ¹⁰ For if anyone sees you who have knowledge eating in an idol’s temple, will not ^(C)the conscience of him who is weak be emboldened to eat those things offered to idols? ¹¹ And ^(D)because of your knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died? ¹² But ^(E)when you thus sin against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.

¹⁸ For ^(A)not he who commends himself is approved, but ^(B)whom the Lord commends.

¹⁴ Now we ^[a]exhort you, brethren, ^(A)warn those who are ^[b]unruly, ^(B)comfort the fainthearted, ^(C)uphold the weak, ^(D)be patient with all.
