But when you sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.
All Commentaries on 1 Corinthians 8:12 Go To 1 Corinthians 8
Basil the Great
AD 379
Consequently, either when something is done which is intrinsically evil and scandal results, or if the performance of a licit act and one within our sphere of competence causes scandal to one who is weak in faith or knowledge, then the penalty is clear and unescapable… “It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck.”
