Ecclesiastes 10-12, 1 Corinthians 7: 36-40, 1 Corinthians 8, Psalm 119: 49-56
1 Corinthians 8: 12 (ESV)
“Thus, sinning against your brothers and wounding their
conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ.”
Verse 12 from 1 Corinthians 8 shows Paul’s advice to the Church
of Corinth to treat other people in the church well. If we commit sins against
other people because their faith or their conscience is weak, we are sinning
against Christ. We cannot encourage other people to sin even though their faith
is weak. I like Paul’s advice here because it reinforces that we need to treat
each other with kindness, and that God will judge us for how we treat other
people even those who are not of the faith. We must always be kind to everyone
no matter what their faith, and not encourage them to sin against God just because
they are not of the faith.
