    7However, not everyone has this knowledge; for some, with consciousness of the idol, until now eat it as a thing offered to an idol, and their weak conscience is defiled.

    8But food does not commend us to God; for neither if we eat are we better, nor if we do not eat are we worse.

    9But take care lest this liberty of yours somehow becomes a stumbling block to those who are weak.

    10For if anyone sees you who have knowledge eating in an idol's temple, will not the conscience of him who is weak be emboldened to eat things offered to idols?

    11And through your knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died?

    12But when you sin against the brethren and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.
