Concerning Food Sacrificed To Idols
11 So, this weak brother, for whose sake Christ died, becomes [spiritually] destroyed, [and all] because of your "knowledge" [i.e., you know that such eating is harmless, but your weak brother does not know this, so he is led into sin by your unloving example]. 12 And in this way, when you sin against the brothers by injuring their weak conscience, you are [actually] sinning against Christ. 13 Therefore, if [eating certain] foods causes my brother to fall away [from God], I will never eat meat again, so I do not cause my brother to fall away.
