    7But euery man hath not that knowledge: for many hauing conscience of the idole, vntill this houre, eate as a thing sacrificed vnto the idole, and so their conscience being weake, is defiled.

    8But meate maketh not vs acceptable to God, for neither if we eate, haue we the more: neither if we eate not, haue we the lesse.

    9But take heede lest by any meanes this power of yours be an occasion of falling, to them that are weake.

    10For if any man see thee which hast knowledge, sit at table in the idoles temple, shal not the conscience of him which is weake, be boldened to eate those things which are sacrificed to idoles?

    11And through thy knowledge shall the weake brother perish, for whome Christ died.

    12Nowe when ye sinne so against the brethren, and wound their weake conscience, ye sinne against Christ.

    13Wherefore if meate offende my brother, I wil eate no flesh while the world standeth, that I may not offend my brother.

    3Let not him that eateth, despise him that eateth not: and let not him which eateth not, condemne him that eateth: for God hath receiued him.

    4Who art thou that condemnest another mans seruant? Hee standeth or falleth to his owne master: yea, he shalbe established: for God is able to make him stand.

    5This man esteemeth one day aboue another day, & another ma counteth euery day alike: let euery man be fully perswaded in his minde.

    6He that obserueth the day, obserueth it to the Lord: and he that obserueth not the day, obserueth it not to the Lorde. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord: for he giueth God thankes: and he that eateth not, eateth not to the Lord, and giueth God thankes.
