9 Be careful, however, that the exercise of your rights does not become a stumbling block to the weak. 10 For if someone with a weak conscience sees you, with all your knowledge, eating in an idol’s temple, won’t that person be emboldened to eat what is sacrificed to idols?
I took this as a broad statement of responsibility, for any of us who are Christians, it is important to set a good example living within God's laws for us. People without or maybe young in their faith are watching my actions and I can actually hurt them by teaching through my actions its okay to go out and get hammered, speak negatively about people or show something other than love to people I interact with.
So long story short my actions are important not only to my own health but those around me.
I love your take.....its spot on!
ReplyDeletethe other phrase I liked in here is in the first verse! "But knowledge puffs up while love builds up". that's a good one
