1 Corinthians 8:10-11

8:10 For if someone weak sees you who possess knowledge dining in an idol’s temple, will not his conscience be “strengthened” ¹  to eat food offered to idols? 8:11 So by your knowledge the weak brother or sister, ²  for whom Christ died, is destroyed. ³ 

¹ tn Or “built up”; This is the same word used in v. 1b. It is used ironically here: The weak person is “built up” to commit what he regards as sin.

² tn Grk “the one who is weak…the brother for whom Christ died,” but see note on the word “Christian” in 5:11.

³ tn This may be an indirect middle, “destroys himself.”
