Bible verse
So this weak brother, for whom Christ died, is destroyed by your knowledge.
1 Corinthians 8:11 · BSB
The verses around it, from 1 Corinthians 8.
7 But not everyone has this knowledge. Some people are still so accustomed to idols that they eat such food as if it were sacrificed to an idol. And since their conscience is weak, it is defiled.
8 But food does not bring us closer to God: We are no worse if we do not eat, and no better if we do.
9 Be careful, however, that your freedom does not become a stumbling block to the weak.
10 For if someone with a weak conscience sees you who are well informed eating in an idol’s temple, will he not be encouraged to eat food sacrificed to idols?
11 So this weak brother, for whom Christ died, is destroyed by your knowledge.
12 By sinning against your brothers in this way and wounding their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.
13 Therefore, if what I eat causes my brother to stumble, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause him to stumble.
KJV
And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died?
ASV
For through thy knowledge he that is weak perisheth, the brother for whose sake Christ died.
ERV
For through thy knowledge he that is weak perisheth, the brother for whose sake Christ died.
