8. Yet food does not commend us to God. For if we eat, we will not have more, and if we do not eat, we will not have less.
9. But be careful not to let your liberty become a cause of sin to those who are weak.
10. For if anyone sees someone with knowledge sitting down to eat in idolatry, will not his own conscience, being infirm, be emboldened to eat what has been sacrificed to idols?
11. And should an infirm brother perish by your knowledge, even though Christ died for him?
12. So when you sin in this way against the brothers, and you harm their weakened conscience, then you sin against Christ.
13. Because of this, if food leads my brother to sin, I will never eat meat, lest I lead my brother to sin.
