⁹ But take care that this liberty of yours does not somehow become a stumbling block to the weak.^(A)

¹³ For you were called to freedom, brothers and sisters, only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for self-indulgence,^[a] but through love become enslaved to one another.^(A)

²⁰ Do not, for the sake of food, destroy the work of God. Everything is indeed clean, but it is wrong to make someone stumble by what you eat; ²¹ it is good not to eat meat or drink wine or do anything that makes your brother or sister stumble.^[a](A)

¹⁶ As servants of God, live as free people, yet do not use your freedom as a pretext for evil.^(A)

¹⁹ They promise them freedom, but they themselves are slaves of corruption, for people are slaves to whatever masters them.^(A)

Do Not Judge Another

14 Welcome those who are weak in faith^[a] but not for the purpose of quarreling over opinions.^{(A) 2} Some believe in eating anything, while the weak eat only vegetables.^(B)

²⁴ Do not seek your own advantage but that of the other.^(A)

³² Give no offense to Jews or to Greeks or to the church of God,^(A)

²² To the weak I became weak, so that I might gain the weak. I have become all things to all people, that I might by all means save some.

¹² But when you thus sin against brothers and sisters and wound their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ.
