Discovery Box1 Corinthians 8:8 
Context8:8 Now food will not bring us close to God. We are no worse if we do not eat and no better if we do.
1 Corinthians 8:13
Context8:13 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 1 to sin.
1 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.
