For if someone sees you, a person having [c]knowledge, [d]eating in an idol’s temple, then if he is weak, will he not be encouraged to eat things sacrificed to idols [and violate his own convictions]?
For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol's temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols;
For instance, say you flaunt your freedom by going to a banquet thrown in honor of idols, where the main course is meat sacrificed to idols. Isn’t there great danger if someone still struggling over this issue, someone who looks up to you as knowledgeable and mature, sees you go into that banquet? The danger is that he will become terribly confused—maybe even to the point of getting mixed up himself in what his conscience tells him is wrong. 11-13 Christ gave up his life for that person. Wouldn’t you at least be willing to give up going to dinner for him—because, as you say, it doesn’t really make any difference? But it does make a difference if you hurt your friend terribly, risking his eternal ruin! When you hurt your friend, you hurt Christ. A free meal here and there isn’t worth it at the cost of even one of these “weak ones.” So, never go to these idol-tainted meals if there’s any chance it will trip up one of your brothers or sisters.
For if someone sees you, who have knowledge, dining in an idol’s temple, will not his conscience, if he is weak, be strengthened to eat things sacrificed to idols?
Porque puede suceder que alguno de vosotros, sabiendo que no hace nada malo, entre a comer en un templo donde hay ídolos, y que después llegue un hermano débil de conciencia, que, al verle comiendo, decida (aun pensando que va a hacer algo malo) comer él también de lo sacrificado a los ídolos.
Suppose you, with all your knowledge, are eating in a temple of one of those gods. And suppose someone who has a weak sense of what is right and wrong sees you. Won’t that person become bold and eat what is sacrificed to statues of gods?
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?
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?
For if others see you—with your “superior knowledge”—eating in the temple of an idol, won’t they be encouraged to violate their conscience by eating food that has been offered to an idol?

German
Angenommen, du isst in einem heidnischen Tempel Opferfleisch, weil du erkannt hast, dass der Genuss einer Speise dich nicht von Gott trennen kann. Wenn nun dein Bruder, dessen Glaube noch nicht gefestigt ist, dich dabei sieht – wird er dann nicht ermutigt, es dir nachzumachen, obwohl er dabei gegen sein Gewissen handelt?

Om nye troende, som ennå ikke vet hvordan de skal tenke, ser deg som har ”det rette svaret” spise kjøtt i et avgudstempel, kommer de ikke da til å trekke den slutningen at de også kan spise? For disse kan dette innebære at de faller tilbake til sin gamle avgudsdyrkelse.

Załóżmy bowiem, że zauważy on ciebie, „mającego wiedzę”, jak spożywasz w świątyni pokarm ofiarowany bożkom. Czy jego słabe sumienie zostanie wzmocnione, gdy weźmie z ciebie przykład i, wbrew własnemu sumieniu, też będzie jadł?
