Romans 14:15-21
English Standard Version
15 For if your brother is grieved by what you eat, (A)you are no longer walking in love. (B)By what you eat, do not destroy the one for whom Christ died. 16 (C)So do not let what you regard as good be spoken of as evil. 17 (D)For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking but (E)of righteousness and (F)peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. 18 Whoever thus serves Christ is (G)acceptable to God and approved by men. 19 So then let us (H)pursue what makes for peace and for (I)mutual upbuilding.
20 (J)Do not, for the sake of food, destroy the work of God. (K)Everything is indeed clean, but (L)it is wrong for anyone to make another stumble by what he eats. 21 (M)It is good not to eat meat or drink wine or do anything that causes your brother to stumble.[a]

1 Corinthians 8:9-13
English Standard Version
9 But take care (A)that this right of yours does not somehow become a stumbling block (B)to the weak. 10 For if anyone sees you who have knowledge eating[a] in an idol's temple, will he not be encouraged,[b] if his conscience is weak, to eat food offered to idols? 11 And so by your knowledge this weak person is (C)destroyed, the brother for whom Christ died. 12 Thus, sinning against your brothers[c] and (D)wounding their conscience when it is weak, (E)you sin against Christ. 13 Therefore, (F)if food makes my brother stumble, I will never eat meat, lest I make my brother stumble.
