But not everyone has this knowledge. Some people are so accustomed to idolatry that when they eat food that has been offered to an idol, their conscience becomes contaminated because it is weak.
But you must see to it that this right of yours does not become a stumbling block for those who are weak.

In that case, the weak brother for whom the Messiah died is ruined by your knowledge.
When you sin against your brothers in this way and wound their weak consciences, you are sinning against the Messiah.
To the weak I became weak in order to win the weak. I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some of them.
That's why so many of you are weak and sick and a considerable number are dying.
