1 Corinthians 8:9 in Context — 1 Corinthians 8

7 Mas no en todos hay esta ciencia: porque algunos con conciencia del ídolo hasta aquí, comen como sacrificado á ídolos; y su conciencia, siendo flaca, es contaminada.

8 Si bien la vianda no nos hace más aceptos á Dios: porque ni que comamos, seremos más ricos; ni que no comamos, seremos más pobres.

9 Mas mirad que esta vuestra libertad no sea tropezadero á los que son flacos.

10 Porque si te ve alguno, á ti que tienes ciencia, que estás sentado á la mesa en el lugar de los ídolos, ¿la conciencia de aquel que es flaco, no será adelantada á comer de lo sacrificado á los ídolos?

11 Y por tu ciencia se perderá el hermano flaco por el cual Cristo murió.
