1 Corinthians 8:10-13
English Standard Version
10 For if anyone sees you who have knowledge eating[a] in an idol's temple, will he not be encouraged,[b] if his conscience is weak, to eat food offered to idols? 11 And so by your knowledge this weak person is (A)destroyed, the brother for whom Christ died. 12 Thus, sinning against your brothers[c] and (B)wounding their conscience when it is weak, (C)you sin against Christ. 13 Therefore, (D)if food makes my brother stumble, I will never eat meat, lest I make my brother stumble.

New International Version
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?(A) 11 So this weak brother or sister, for whom Christ died, is destroyed(B) by your knowledge. 12 When you sin against them(C) in this way and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.(D) 13 Therefore, if what I eat causes my brother or sister to fall into sin, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause them to fall.(E)
