“However, not all possess this knowledge. But some, through former association with idols, eat food as really offered to an idol, and their conscience, being weak, is defiled. Food will not commend us to God. We are no worse off if we do not eat, and no better off if we do. But take care that this right of yours does not somehow become a stumbling block to the weak. For if anyone sees you who have knowledge eating in an idol’s temple, will he not be encouraged, if his conscience is weak, to eat food offered to idols? And so by your knowledge this weak person is destroyed, the brother for whom Christ died. Thus, sinning against your brothers and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ. Therefore, if food makes my brother stumble, I will never eat meat, lest I make my brother stumble.”
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭8:7-13‬ ‭ESV‬‬

All,This stands out because Paul says, “But take care that this right of yours does not somehow become a stumbling block to the weak.” Is it possible to ensure we do not ever do anything that may hurt the conscience of a weaker brother? I don’t think so and it may be legalistic to do so. However, I do think Paul is encouraging kindness here. If we know a particular brother is struggling, we can invest the time with him so that he fully understands what is biblical and what isn’t. Please pray that we and our friends invest in our weaker friends so they too will know truth. Please pray for the victims just being brought into human trafficking at the average age of 13.
