As a followup to his earlier advise of how Christians have been bought with a price and so they can't just live their lives however they please. Paul tells those Christians who claim they can go sit in and eat food at pagan temples even when they are necessarily participating in the rituals that they were doing something wrong;
*It’s true that we can’t win God’s approval by what we eat. We don’t lose anything if we don’t eat it, and we don’t gain anything if we do. But you must be careful so that your freedom does not cause others with a weaker conscience to stumble. For if others see you—with your “superior knowledge”—eating in the temple of an idol, won’t they be encouraged to violate their conscience by eating food that has been offered to an idol? So because of your superior knowledge, a weak believer for whom Christ died will be destroyed. And when you sin against other believers by encouraging them to do something they believe is wrong, you are sinning against Christ. So if what I eat causes another believer to sin, I will never eat meat again as long as I live—for I don’t want to cause another believer to stumble.*
1 Corinthians 8:8-13 NLT.
Your freedom to do anything is one thing, love compels you to ensure your freedom does not mean the bondage of another. Love says I must care enough for my brother to not allow what I am fine with cause him/her to stumble.
