Here’s an excerpt from the blog post.

Corinth, like much of the rest of the world, was full of idolatry. Some in the church who had come to salvation in Christ were still eating meat sacrificed to idols with the understanding that an idol had no real authority or power. However, the new and/or immature believers had not yet come to that position in their faith journey and, having witnessed some believers eating meat sacrificed to idols, had come to believe that they were worshipping Jesus and the idols of Corinth.

The "strong" believers were less concerned with the building up of their newer brothers and sisters in Christ and more concerned with eating whatever they wanted to from the position of freedom in Jesus.

Paul warns, "Take care that this right of yours does not somehow become a stumbling block to the weak." Paul then immediately gives a couple of examples of "rights" he has laid down for the gospel's sake. Paul put aside the right to take along a believing wife, and he laid aside the right to demand payment from the Corinthians for his ministry there. The point of putting these rights aside was not because Paul believed them to be unimportant but because he believed the gospel of Jesus to be of greater importance. Paul's freedoms and rights came secondary to the goal of proclaiming the good news of Jesus.
