1 Corintios 8:9 Meaning and Commentary

1 Corinthians 8:9

But take heed lest by any means
This is either a reply to the instance of such as argued in favour of eating things offered to idols; or a limitation and explanation of the apostle's own concession, that it made a man, with respect to the favour of God, neither better nor worse: yet care should be taken, lest

this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are
weak;
he owns they had a liberty, or a right, or power, as the word may be rendered, of eating, or not eating, as they pleased; but then they ought to be cautious, lest they should be the means of offending, or causing to offend, such who were weak in the faith, and had not that knowledge of Christian liberty they had: not the use of their power and liberty is here denied, but the abuse of it is guarded against; for though the action itself was indifferent, yet as it might be used, it might be sinful, being attended with very bad consequences, such as hereafter mentioned.

1 Corintios 8:9 In-Context

7 Pero no todos tienen conocimiento de esto. Algunos siguen tan acostumbrados a los ídolos, que cuando comen carne a sabiendas de que ha sido sacrificada a un ídolo, su conciencia se contamina por ser débil.

8 Pero lo que comemos no nos acerca a Dios; no somos mejores por comer ni peores por no comer.

9 Sin embargo, tengan cuidado de que su libertad no se convierta en motivo de tropiezo para los débiles.

10 Porque si alguien de conciencia débil te ve a ti, que tienes este conocimiento, comer en el templo de un ídolo, ¿no se sentirá animado a comer lo que ha sido sacrificado a los ídolos?

11 Entonces ese hermano débil, por quien Cristo murió, se perderá a causa de tu conocimiento.
