1 Corinthians 8: 12 But when you thus sin against members of your family,[c] and wound their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ.
Paul is talking about food. He says food will not change our relationship with God. God doesn't care what we eat. But if we do anything which causes another believer to sin, based on us as role models, then we sin too.
Paul is quite a task master. He wants the Christians to be examples to each other and to nonbelievers. We should consider how our behavior can lead others to Christ or to rejecting faith.
Prayer: Help my weak and sinful self to be a strong and faithful representative of Your power and might. Guide my words and actions to be all You know that I am capable of.
Amen
