9 Mas tened cuidado, no sea que esta vuestra libertad de alguna manera se convierta en piedra de tropiezo para el débil.

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 Sin embargo, no todos tienen este conocimiento; sino que algunos, estando acostumbrados al ídolo hasta ahora, comen alimento como si éste fuera sacrificado a un ídolo; y su conciencia, siendo débil, se mancha.

8 Pero la comida no nos recomendará a Dios, pues ni somos menos si no comemos, ni somos más si comemos.

9 Mas tened cuidado, no sea que esta vuestra libertad de alguna manera se convierta en piedra de tropiezo para el débil.

10 Porque si alguno te ve a ti, que tienes conocimiento, sentado a la mesa en un templo de ídolos, ¿no será estimulada su conciencia, si él es débil, a comer lo sacrificado a los ídolos?

11 Y por tu conocimiento se perderá el que es débil, el hermano por quien Cristo murió.
