ACC ~ 1 Corinthians 8 v12

THE WOUNDING OF CONSCIENCE. BASIL: 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.”CONCERNING BAPTISM 10.

DESTROYING CHRIST’S WORK. CHRYSOSTOM: Those who wound a weak conscience sin against Christ. He considers the concerns of his servants to be his own. Those who are wounded make up his own body. These people are destroying the work which Christ built up by his own blood. HOMILIES ON THE EPISTLES OF PAUL TO THE CORINTHIANS 20.10.

LOVING CHRIST IN THE MEETING WITH THE OTHER. AUGUSTINE: It is the very law of Christ that we bear one another’s burdens. Moreover, by loving Christ we easily bear the weakness of another, even him whom we do not yet love for the sake of his own good qualities, for we realize that the one whom we love is someone for whom the Lord has died.
