Therefore, if food makes my brother stumble, I will never again eat meat, lest I make my brother stumble.

just as I also please all [men] in all [things,] not seeking my own profit, but the [profit] of many, that they may be saved.

Imitate me, just as I also [imitate] Christ.

Yet if your brother is grieved because of [your] food, you are no longer walking in love. Do not destroy with your food the one for whom Christ died.

Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. All things indeed [are] pure, but [it is] evil for the man who eats with offense.

[It is] good neither to eat meat nor drink wine nor [do anything] by which your brother stumbles or is offended or is made weak.

We then who are strong ought to bear with the scruples of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

For even Christ did not please Himself; but as it is written, "The reproaches of those who reproached You fell on Me."
