Romans 14:15-21

15 For if your brother is grieved by what you eat, ^ayou are no longer walking in love. ^bBy what you eat, do not destroy the one for whom Christ died. 16 ^cSo do not let what you regard as good be spoken of as evil. 17 ^dFor the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking but ^eof righteousness and ^fpeace and joy in the Holy Spirit. 18 Whoever thus serves Christ is ^gacceptable to God and approved by men. 19 So then let us ^hpursue what makes for peace and for ⁱmutual upbuilding.

20 ^jDo not, for the sake of food, destroy the work of God. ^kEverything is indeed clean, but ^lit is wrong for anyone to make another stumble by what he eats. 21 ^mIt is good not to eat meat or drink wine or do anything that causes your brother to stumble. ^{▼▼Some manuscripts add or be hindered or be weakened}

1 Corinthians 8:9-13

9 But take care ^othat this right of yours does not somehow become a stumbling block ^pto the weak. 10 For if anyone sees you who have knowledge eating ^{▼▼Greek reclining at table} in an idol’s temple, will he not be encouraged, ^{▼▼Or fortified; Greek built up} if his conscience is weak, to eat food offered to idols? 11 And so by your knowledge this weak person is ^sdestroyed, the brother for whom Christ died. 12 Thus, sinning against your brothers ^{▼▼Or brothers and sisters} and ^uwounding their conscience when it is weak, ^vyou sin against Christ. 13 Therefore, ^wif food makes my brother stumble, I will never eat meat, lest I make my brother stumble.

1 Corinthians 10:32

32 ^xGive no offense to Jews or to Greeks or to ^ythe church of God,
