- 1 Cor 8:9-9 : 9 But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to the weak. 10 For if a man see thee who hast knowledge sitting at meat in an idol's temple, will not his conscience, if he is weak, be emboldened to eat {G1519} things sacrificed to idols? 11 For through thy knowledge {G622} he that is weak perisheth, the brother for whose sake Christ died. 12 And thus, sinning {G3779} against the brethren, and wounding their conscience when it is weak, ye sin against Christ. 13 Wherefore, if meat causeth my brother to stumble, I will eat {G3756} no flesh for evermore, that I cause not my brother to stumble.
