12 [a]Now when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ.
13 (A)[b]Wherefore if meat offend my brother, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, that I may not offend my brother.

- 1 Corinthians 8:12 Another amplification: Such offending of our weak brethren redoundeth unto Christ, and therefore let not these men think that they have to do only with their brethren.
- 1 Corinthians 8:13 The conclusion, which Paul conceiveth in his own person, that he might not seem to exact that of others, which he will not be first subject unto himself. I had rather (saith he) abstain forever from all kind of flesh, than give occasion of sin to any of my brethren, much less would I refuse in any certain place or time for my brother’s sake not to eat flesh offered to idols.

New International Version
12 When you sin against them(A) in this way and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.(B) 13 Therefore, if what I eat causes my brother or sister to fall into sin, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause them to fall.(C)
