1 Corinthians 8:9 in context

  1. 7Howbeit there is not in all men that knowledge: but some, being used until now to the idol, eat as of a thing sacrificed to an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled.
  2. 8But food will not commend us to God: neither, if we eat not, are we the worse; nor, if we eat, are we the better.
  3. 9But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to the weak.
  4. 10For if a man see thee who hast knowledge sitting at meat in an idol’s temple, will not his conscience, if he is weak, be emboldened to eat things sacrificed to idols?
  5. 11For through thy knowledge he that is weak perisheth, the brother for whose sake Christ died.
