For three days now, we have been walking through 1 Corinthians 8. We have seen the question Paul is answering, we have seen Paul’s first principle of love over knowledge, and we have seen Paul’s confession that there is only one God. Today Paul turns to one of the most pastoral passages in any of his letters — the weaker brother and the wounded conscience.

Listen first to 1 Corinthians 8, verses 7 and 8, in the Contemporary English Version:

“Not everyone knows these things. In fact, many people have grown up with the belief that idols have life in them. So when they eat meat offered to idols, they are bothered by a weak conscience. But food doesn’t bring us any closer to God. We are no worse off if we don’t eat, and we are no better off if we do.”
