• 1 Cor 10:23-33 : 23 Everything is permissible, but not everything is beneficial. Everything is permissible, but not everything builds up. 24 No one should seek their own good, but the good of others. 25 Eat anything sold in the meat market without raising questions of conscience. 26 For the earth is the Lord's, and everything in it. 27 If an unbeliever invites you to a meal and you want to go, eat whatever is placed before you without raising questions of conscience. 28 But if someone says to you, 'This has been offered in sacrifice,' then do not eat it, for the sake of the one who told you and for the sake of conscience. 29 I do not mean your own conscience, but that of the other person's. For why is my freedom judged by another’s conscience? 30 If I partake with thankfulness, why am I denounced because of what I give thanks for? 31 So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. 32 Do not cause anyone to stumble, whether Jews, Greeks, or the church of God. 33 Just as I also try to please everyone in all things, not seeking my own benefit but the benefit of many, so that they may be saved.

But if anyone regards something as unclean, then for that person it is unclean. 15 If your brother or sister is distressed because of what you eat, you are no longer acting in love. Do not by your eating destroy someone for whom Christ died. 16 Therefore, do not let what you know is good be spoken of as evil. 17 For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit. 18 For anyone who serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and approved by people. 19 So then, let us pursue what promotes peace and what builds up one another. 20 Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. All things are indeed clean, but it is wrong for a person to eat anything that causes someone else to stumble. 21 It is good not to eat meat or drink wine or do anything that causes your brother or sister to stumble, to be offended, or to be weakened. 22 Do you have faith? Keep it to yourself before God. Blessed is the one who does not condemn himself by what he approves. 23 But whoever doubts and eats is condemned if they do so, because their actions are not from faith; and everything that does not come from faith is sin.
• 1 Cor 8:7-9 : 7 However, not everyone knows this. Some, being accustomed to idols until now, eat it as if it were truly food offered to an idol, and their weak conscience is defiled. 8 Food will not bring us closer to God. We are no worse off if we do not eat, and no better off if we do. 9 But be careful that this right of yours does not somehow become a stumbling block to those who are weak. 10 For if someone sees you, who have knowledge, eating in an idol's temple, won’t their weak conscience be emboldened to eat food sacrificed to idols? 11 So the weak brother or sister, for whom Christ died, is destroyed by your knowledge. 12 When you sin in this way against your brothers and sisters and wound their weak consciences, you are sinning against Christ. 13 Therefore, if food causes my brother to stumble, I will never eat meat again so that I will not cause my brother to stumble.
