    3And do you think, whoever you are, when you judge those who practice such things and yet do them yourself, that you will escape God’s judgment?

    7But this knowledge is not shared by all. And some, by being accustomed to idols in former times, eat this food as an idol sacrifice, and their conscience, because it is weak, is defiled.

    9But be careful that this liberty of yours does not become a hindrance to the weak.

    10For if someone weak sees you who possess knowledge dining in an idol’s temple, will not his conscience be“strengthened” to eat food offered to idols?
