8. But food does not commend us to Elohim, for we are none the better if we eat, nor any worse for not eating.
9. But look to it, lest somehow this right of yours become a stumbling-block to those who are weak.
10. For if anyone sees you who have knowledge eating in an idol’s place, shall not his conscience, if he is weak, be built up to eat food offered to idols?
11. So this weak brother, for whom Messiah died, shall perish through your knowledge!
12. Now sinning in this way against the brothers, and wounding their weak conscience, you sin against Messiah.
13. Therefore, if food makes my brother stumble, I am never again going to eat meat, lest I make my brother stumble.
