1Cor 8:9 | MHM | STEP | v. 9-10 : Paul warns mature Christians to be careful with their freedom. He says, Take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumbling-block to them that are weak (1 Corinthians 8:9 ). If a weak Christian sees someone with “knowledge” eating in an idol’s temple, he might be encouraged to do the same, even though he is not sure it is right. This could lead him to sin against his own conscience and possibly fall back into old habits.
