⁹ But ^(A)beware lest somehow this liberty of yours become ^(B)a ^[a]stumbling block to those who are weak.

¹³ For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only ^(A)do not use liberty as an ^(B)opportunity for the flesh, but ^(C)through love serve one another.

^20 (A)Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. ^(B)All things indeed are pure, ^(C)but it is evil for the man who eats with ^[a]offense. ²¹ It is good neither to eat ^(D)meat nor drink wine nor do anything by which your brother stumbles ^[b]or is offended or is made weak.

¹⁹ While they promise them liberty, they themselves are slaves of ^[a]corruption; ^(A)for by whom a person is overcome, by him also he is brought into ^[b]bondage.

The Law of Liberty

14 Receive^(A) one who is weak in the faith, but not to disputes over doubtful things. ² For one believes he ^(B)may eat all things, but he who is weak eats only vegetables.

^16 (A)as free, yet not ^(B)using liberty as a cloak for ^[a]vice, but as bondservants of God.

²⁴ Let no one seek his own, but each one ^(A)the other’s well-being.

^22 (A)to the weak I became ^[a]as weak, that I might win the weak. ^(B)I have become all things to all men, ^(C)that I might by all means save some.

¹² But ^(A)when you thus sin against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.
