    8Food will not bring us closer to God. We are no worse off if we do not eat, and no better off if we do.

    9But be careful that this right of yours does not somehow become a stumbling block to those who are weak.

    10For if someone sees you, who have knowledge, eating in an idol's temple, won’t their weak conscience be emboldened to eat food sacrificed to idols?

    11So the weak brother or sister, for whom Christ died, is destroyed by your knowledge.
