But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak.

For if someone sees you, the one who has knowledge, dining in an idol's temple, will his conscience, if he is weak, not be strengthened to eat things sacrificed to idols?

For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol's temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols;

For through your knowledge the one who is weak is ruined, the brother or sister for whose sake Christ died.

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

And so, by sinning against the brothers and sisters and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ.

But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ.

Therefore, if food causes my brother to sin, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause my brother to sin.

Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend.
