¹¹ And ^(A)because of your knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died?

¹⁵ Yet if your brother is grieved because of your food, you are no longer walking in love. ^(A)Do not destroy with your food the one for whom Christ died.

Bearing Others’ Burdens

15 We ^(A)then who are strong ought to bear with the ^[a]scruples of the weak, and not to please ourselves. ^2 (B)Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, leading to ^[b]edification. ^3 (C)For even Christ did not please Himself; but as it is written, ^(D)“The reproaches of those who reproached You fell on Me.”

¹³ Therefore, ^(A)if food makes my brother stumble, I will never again eat meat, lest I make my brother stumble.

³³ just ^(A)as I also please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.

Worship and the Lord’s Supper

11 Imitate^(B) me, just as I also imitate Christ.

^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.
