⁷But not everyone knows this. Some people are so used to worshiping false gods that they believe they are eating food offered to a false god. So they feel guilty because their conscience is weak.

⁸Food will not affect our relationship with God. We are no worse off if we eat ⸤that food⸥ and no better off if we don’t. ⁹But be careful that by using your freedom you don’t somehow make a believer who is weak in faith fall into sin. ¹⁰For example, suppose someone with a weak conscience sees you, who have this knowledge, eating in the temple of a false god. Won’t you be encouraging that person to eat food offered to a false god? ¹¹In that case, your knowledge is ruining a believer whose faith is weak, a believer for whom Christ died. ¹²When you sin against other believers in this way and harm their weak consciences, you are sinning against Christ.

¹³Therefore, if eating food ⸤offered to false gods⸥ causes other believers to lose their faith, I will never eat that kind of food so that I won’t make other believers lose their faith.
