1 Corinthians 8:12-13

8:12 If you sin against your brothers or sisters ¹  in this way and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ. 8:13 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 ²  to sin.

¹ tn See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:10.

² tn Grk “my brother.” Both “my brother or sister” earlier in the verse and “one of them” here translate the same Greek phrase. Since the same expression occurs in the previous line, a pronoun phrase is substituted here to suit English style, which is less tolerant of such repetition.
