In context

5 For though there are things that are called “gods”, whether in the heavens or on earth—as there are many “gods” and many “lords”—

6 yet to us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we live through him.

7 However, that knowledge isn’t in all men. But some, with consciousness of an idol until now, eat as of a thing sacrificed to an idol, and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.

8 But food will not commend us to God. For neither, if we don’t eat are we the worse, nor if we eat are we the better.

9 But be careful that by no means does this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to the weak.
