    7 Still, all men have not that knowledge: but some, being used till now to the image, are conscious that they are taking food which has been offered to the image; and because they are not strong in the faith, their minds are troubled.

    8 But God's approval of us is not based on the food we take: if we do not take it we are no worse for it; and if we take it we are no better.

    9 But take care that this power of yours does not give cause for trouble to the feeble.

    10 For if a man sees you, who have knowledge, taking food as a guest in the house of an image, will it not give him, if he is feeble, the idea that he may take food offered to images?

    11 And so, through your knowledge, you are the cause of destruction to your brother, for whom Christ underwent death.
