1 Corinthians 8:7-10

⁷But not everyone has this knowledge. Some people are still so accustomed to idols that they eat such food as if it were sacrificed to an idol. And since their conscience is weak, it is defiled.

⁸But food does not bring us closer to God: We are no worse if we do not eat, and no better if we do.

⁹Be careful, however, that your freedom does not become a stumbling block to the weak.

¹⁰For if someone with a weak conscience sees you who are well informed eating in an idol’s temple, will he not be encouraged to eat food sacrificed to idols?
