1 Corinthians 8:9

---

← 1 Corinthians 8:8	1 Corinthians 8:9 (KJV)	1 Corinthians 8:10 →
But meat commendeth us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse.	But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak.	For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol's temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols;
