1 Corinthians 8:7

greek
Ἀλλ’ οὐκ ἐν πᾶσιν ἡ γνῶσις· τινὲς δὲ τῇ ⸀συνηθείᾳ ⸂ἕως ἄρτι τοῦ εἰδώλου⸃ ὡς εἰδωλόθυτον ἐσθίουσιν, καὶ ἡ συνείδησις αὐτῶν ἀσθενὴς οὖσα μολύνεται.
English Translation
But knowledge is not in all; some, through their former custom, as far as until now, eat food offered to idols, and their conscience being weak is defiled.
