1 Corinthians 8:10 - People's Commentary (NT)

1 Corinthians 8:10

8 But ^afood does not commend us to God; for neither if we eat are we the better, nor if we do not eat are we the worse.

9 But ^abeware lest somehow this liberty of yours become ^ba stumbling block to those who are weak.

10 For if anyone sees you who have knowledge eating in an idol’s temple, will not ^athe conscience of him who is weak be emboldened to eat those things offered to idols?

11 And ^abecause of your knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died?

12 But ^awhen you thus sin against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.

13 Therefore, ^aif food makes my brother stumble, I will never again eat meat, lest I make my brother stumble.

1 Corinthians 8:10

I Corinthians 8:10 For if any man see thee . . . sit eating in the idol's temple. In the heathen temples, great banquets often followed the sacrifice. That a weaker Christian should see a stronger one, a leader, sitting at such a banquet, would lead him to believe that his brother was honoring the idol. The example would encourage idolatry.
