"For this reason, if food is a cause of trouble to my brother, I will give up taking meat for ever, so that I may not be a cause of trouble to my brother."
— 1 Corinthians 8:13-1964, Bible in Basic English
“Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend. ”
“Wherefore, if meat causeth my brother to stumble, I will eat no flesh for evermore, that I cause not my brother to stumble. ”
“Therefore, if food causes my brother to stumble, I will eat no meat forevermore, that I don't cause my brother to stumble.”
“For this reason, if food causes my brother or sister to sin, I will never eat meat again, so that I may not cause one of them to sin.”
“Wherefore, if meat scandalize my brother, I will never eat flesh, lest I should scandalize my brother. ”
“Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend. ”
For if a man sees you, who have knowledge, taking food as a guest in the house of an image, will it not give him, if he is feeble, the idea that he may take food offered to images?
And so, through your knowledge, you are the cause of destruction to your brother, for whom Christ underwent death.
And in this way, doing evil to the brothers, and causing trouble to those whose faith is feeble, you are sinning against Christ.
For this reason, if food is a cause of trouble to my brother, I will give up taking meat for ever, so that I may not be a cause of trouble to my brother.
