All food is clean, but it is wrong for a man to let his eating be a stumbling block.Romans 14:21It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything to cause your brother to stumble.Romans 14:22Keep your belief about such matters between yourself and God. Blessed is the one who does not condemn himself by what he approves.1 Corinthians 6:12“Everything is permissible for me,” but not everything is beneficial. “Everything is permissible for me,” but I will not be mastered by anything.1 Corinthians 8:8But food does not bring us closer to God: We are no worse if we do not eat, and no better if we do.1 Corinthians 8:9Be careful, however, that your freedom does not become a stumbling block to the weak.1 Corinthians 8:10For if someone with a weak conscience sees you who are well informed eating in an idol’s temple, will he not be encouraged to eat food sacrificed to idols?1 Corinthians 8:11So this weak brother, for whom Christ died, is destroyed by your knowledge.1 Corinthians 8:12By sinning against your brothers in this way and wounding their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.1 Corinthians 8:13Therefore, if what I eat causes my brother to stumble, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause him to stumble.1 Corinthians 9:19Though I am free of obligation to anyone, I make myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible.1 Corinthians 9:20To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews.

For why should my freedom be determined by someone else’s conscience?1 Corinthians 10:30If I partake in the meal with thankfulness, why am I denounced because of that for which I give thanks?1 Corinthians 10:31So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all to the glory of God.1 Corinthians 10:32Do not become a stumbling block, whether to Jews or Greeks or the church of God—1 Corinthians 10:33as I also try to please everyone in all I do. For I am not seeking my own good, but the good of many, that they may be saved.
