8
If another believer sees you who have such “better knowledge” eating food in an idol temple, won't his weak conscience be convinced to eat food sacrificed to idols?
Original Language Text
greek
βρῶμα δὲ ἡμᾶς οὐ ⸀παραστήσει τῷ θεῷ· οὔτε ⸂γὰρ ἐὰν φάγωμεν, περισσεύομεν, οὔτε ἐὰν μὴ φάγωμεν, ὑστερούμεθα⸃.
English Translation
Food will not commend us to God; for neither if we eat are we the better, nor if we do not eat are we the worse.
