1 Corinthians 8:9

8:9 But be careful that this liberty of yours does not become a hindrance to the weak.

1 Corinthians 8:11

8:11 So by your knowledge the weak brother or sister, ¹  for whom Christ died, is destroyed. ² 

1 Corinthians 11:30

11:30 That is why many of you are weak and sick, and quite a few are dead. ³

¹ tn Grk “the one who is weak…the brother for whom Christ died,” but see note on the word “Christian” in 5:11.

² tn This may be an indirect middle, “destroys himself.”

³ tn Grk “are asleep.” The verb κοιμάω (koimaw) literally means “sleep,” but it is often used in the Bible as a euphemism for the death of a believer.
