Edifying

First Corinthians was written by Paul to the Corinth church in response to several areas in which there was confusion and division. In chapter 8, Paul is addressing the issue of whether or not it was spiritually correct to eat meat that had been sacrificed to idols. And his response tackles the difficult subject of how we as Christians are to balance exercising our freedom in Christ with our responsibility of restricting our freedom when it comes to edifying others.
