1 Corinthians 8:9 in Context — 1 Corinthians 8

7 Mais cette connaissance n’est pas chez tous. Quelques-uns, d’après la manière dont ils envisagent encore l’idole, mangent de ces viandes comme étant sacrifiées aux idoles, et leur conscience, qui est faible, en est souillée.

8 Ce n’est pas un aliment qui nous rapproche de Dieu: si nous en mangeons, nous n’avons rien de plus; si nous n’en mangeons pas, nous n’avons rien de moins.

9 Prenez garde, toutefois, que votre liberté ne devienne une pierre d’achoppement pour les faibles.

10 Car, si quelqu’un te voit, toi qui as de la connaissance, assis à table dans un temple d’idoles, sa conscience, à lui qui est faible, ne le portera-t-elle pas à manger des viandes sacrifiées aux idoles?

11 Et ainsi le faible périra par ta connaissance, le frère pour lequel Christ est mort!
