Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

1 Corinthians 8:12

_ _ wound their weak conscience — literally, “smite their conscience, being (as yet) in a weak state.” It aggravates the cruelty of the act that it is committed on the weak, just as if one were to strike an invalid.

_ _ against Christ — on account of the sympathy between Christ and His members (Matthew 25:40; Acts 9:4, Acts 9:5).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 1 Corinthians 8:7-13.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

1 Corinthians 8:12

Ye sin against Christ — Whose members they are.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

1 Corinthians 8:12

(8) But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ.

(8) Another amplification: such offending of our weak brethren, results in the offending of Christ, and therefore do not let these men think that they have to deal only with their brethren.
