The early church at Corinth was faced with the dilemma of how to faithfully love and serve Christ in a city where almost all aspects of the culture, down to the food you would buy in the market, were overtly pagan. Paul's exhorts the stronger believers at Corinth to be less concerned about how far they can go with their freedom in Christ, and more concerned about limiting that freedom to build up their weaker brothers and sisters in love.
