1 Corinthians 8:7-13
New King James Version
7 However, there is not in everyone that knowledge; for some, (A)with consciousness of the idol, until now eat it as a thing offered to an idol; and their conscience, being weak, is (B)defiled. 8 But (C)food does not commend us to God; for neither if we eat are we the better, nor if we do not eat are we the worse.
9 But (D)beware lest somehow this liberty of yours become (E)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 (F)the conscience of him who is weak be emboldened to eat those things offered to idols? 11 And (G)because of your knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died? 12 But (H)when you thus sin against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ. 13 Therefore, (I)if food makes my brother stumble, I will never again eat meat, lest I make my brother stumble.

1 Corinthians 8:7-13
New International Version
7 But not everyone possesses this knowledge.(A) Some people are still so accustomed to idols that when they eat sacrificial food they think of it as having been sacrificed to a god, and since their conscience is weak,(B) it is defiled. 8 But food does not bring us near to God;(C) we are no worse if we do not eat, and no better if we do.
9 Be careful, however, that the exercise of your rights does not become a stumbling block(D) to the weak.(E) 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?(F) 11 So this weak brother or sister, for whom Christ died, is destroyed(G) by your knowledge. 12 When you sin against them(H) in this way and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.(I) 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.(J)

Sectarianism Is Carnal
