Food offered to idols

holy bible book,

1 Now I will write about the meat of the sacrifice that is offered to idols. We know that “we all have knowledge.” Knowledge fills you with pride. But love helps you to be stronger than others.
1 Corinthians 8: 1

2 A person who thinks he knows something does not know what he should know.
1 Corinthians 8: 2

3 But he that loveth God knoweth him;
1 Corinthians 8: 3

4 Wherefore I say unto them, This is the law of the flesh: for we know that idolatry is nothing in the world. We also know that there is one and only God.
1 Corinthians 8: 4

5 It doesn’t really matter that some things on earth and in the sky are called gods. Many people call such things “gods” or “lords.”
1 Corinthians 8: 5

6 But we have only one God. He is our Father. Everything has come from Him and we live for Him alone. There is only one Lord. He is Jesus Christ. All things are created through him, and we also live through him.
1 Corinthians 8: 6

7 But not all people know this. Some people still have the habit of worshiping idols. So when they eat this meat, they feel like it belongs to an idol. They don’t know if it’s okay to eat this meat. So when they eat this meat, they think they are doing something wrong.
1 Corinthians 8: 7

8 But food does not bring us closer to God. By not eating meat, we do not lose anything or by eating, we do not gain anything.
1 Corinthians 8: 8

9 But be careful about your freedom. Your own faith can make people weak.
1 Corinthians 8: 9

10 You have understanding, so you feel free to eat in the temple of idols. A person with weak faith may see you eating there. This will also encourage him to eat the meat offered to the idols. But he actually misunderstands it.
1 Corinthians 8:10

11 So this weak brother can be destroyed because of your knowledge. And Christ was sacrificed for this brother.
1 Corinthians 8:11

12 When you cause your brothers and sisters in Christ to do something that they think is wrong, you are sinning against them and you are hurting them. Then you are also sinning against Christ.
1 Corinthians 8:12

13 Therefore I will never again eat the flesh that I have caused my brother to fall into sin. I will stop eating meat so that I will not let my brother and sister fall into sin.
1 Corinthians 8:13
