1 Corinthians 8

More advice. Choose love or knowledge. In this case, that means even though believers know that food sacrificed to the local idols (which may be most of the food on the market) means nothing but a budding Christian (one trying to kick the idol habit) may believe it is important to skip this food. Paul says love the person and skip the food with them rather than argue about the fact that the idol is meaningless. People watch believers for signs of how they should act. Be a good example of love even if the food is fine as is after being offered to idols. Don't do anything that makes life harder for a sister or brother in Christ.
