1 Corinthians 8:9-13
9But take care athat this right of yours does not somehow become a stumbling block bto the weak. 10For if anyone sees you who have knowledge eating ▼▼Greek reclining at table
in an idol’s temple, will he not be encouraged, ▼▼Or fortified; Greek built up
if his conscience is weak, to eat food offered to idols? 11And so by your knowledge this weak person is edestroyed, the brother for whom Christ died. 12Thus, sinning against your brothers ▼▼Or brothers and sisters
and gwounding their conscience when it is weak, hyou sin against Christ. 13Therefore, iif food makes my brother stumble, I will never eat meat, lest I make my brother stumble. 1 Corinthians 11:13-16
13Judge for yourselves: is it proper for a wife to pray to God with her head uncovered? 14Does not nature itself teach you that if a man wears long hair it is a disgrace for him, 15but if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For her hair is given to her for a covering. 16 jIf anyone is inclined to be contentious, we have no such practice, nor do kthe churches of God.
