Thematic Bible: Evil influence of unfaithful Christians
Thematic Bible
Evil » Influence » Evil influence of unfaithful Christians
For if your brother is hurt [spiritually] by [your eating a certain] food, you are no longer acting lovingly [toward him]. Do not destroy [spiritually] the person Christ died for by what you eat.
Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little yeast can leaven the whole batch of dough?
For if someone with a weak conscience sees you, who have [correct] knowledge [in this matter], eating in an idol's temple, will he not be encouraged to eat food sacrificed to idols?
A little bit of yeast permeates the whole batch of dough [i.e., a few people can influence everyone else to do the wrong thing in this matter].
