1 Corinthians 8:9-11
International Children’s Bible
9 But be careful with your freedom. Your freedom may cause those who are weak in faith to fall into sin. 10 Suppose one of you who has knowledge eats in an idol’s temple.[a] Someone who is weak in faith might see you eating there. This would encourage him to eat meat sacrificed to idols. But he really thinks it is wrong. 11 So this weak brother is ruined because of your “knowledge.” And Christ died for this brother.

1 Corinthians 8:9-11
New International Version
9 Be careful, however, that the exercise of your rights does not become a stumbling block(A) to the weak.(B) 10 For if someone with a weak conscience sees you, with all your knowledge, eating in an idol’s temple, won’t that person be emboldened to eat what is sacrificed to idols?(C) 11 So this weak brother or sister, for whom Christ died, is destroyed(D) by your knowledge.
