So then, if food makes a believer sin, I will never eat meat again, so as not to make a believer fall into sin.

Just do as I do; I try to please everyone in all that I do, not thinking of my own good, but of the good of all, so that they might be saved.

Imitate me, then, just as I imitate Christ.

If you hurt others because of something you eat, then you are no longer acting from love. Do not let the food that you eat ruin the person for whom Christ died!

Do not, because of food, destroy what God has done. All foods may be eaten, but it is wrong to eat anything that will cause someone else to fall into sin.

The right thing to do is to keep from eating meat, drinking wine, or doing anything else that will make other believers fall.

We who are strong in the faith ought to help the weak to carry their burdens. We should not please ourselves.

For Christ did not please himself. Instead, as the scripture says, "The insults which are hurled at you have fallen on me."
