1 Corinthians 8:10–12

8:10 For if someone weak sees you who possess knowledge dining in an idol’s temple, will not his conscience be “strengthened”6 to eat food offered to idols? 8:11 So by your knowledge the weak brother or sister,7 for whom Christ died, is destroyed.8 8:12 If you sin against your brothers or sisters9 in this way and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.

6	tn Or “built up”; This is the same word used in v. 1b. It is used ironically here: The weak person is “built up” to commit what he regards as sin.
7	tn Grk “the one who is weak … the brother for whom Christ died,” but see note on the word “Christian” in 5:11.
8	tn This may be an indirect middle, “destroys himself.”
9	tn See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:10.
