Greek Commentary for 1 Corinthians 8:11
Literally, in thy knowledge. Surely a poor use to put one‘s superior knowledge. [source]
Present middle indicative of the common verb απολλυμι apollumi to destroy. Ruin follows in the wake of such daredevil knowledge. For whose sake Christ died (δι ον Χριστος απετανεν di' hon Christos apethanen). Just as much as for the enlightened brother with his selfish pride. The accusative (ον hon) with δι di' gives the reason, not the agent as with the genitive in 1 Corinthians 8:6 (δι ου di' hou). The appeal to the death (απετανεν apethanen second aorist active indicative of αποτνησκω apothnēskō) of Christ is the central fact that clinches Paul‘s argument. [source]

Not a question, as A.V. The participle “he that is being weak ” indicates a continuance of the weakness, and the present tense, is perishing, implies that the process of moral undermining is in progress through the habitual indulgence of the better informed Christian. Rev., he that is weak perisheth. [source]
