  • 1 Cor 12:22-26 : 22 On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable. 23 And the parts of the body that we think are less honorable, we bestow greater honor, and our unpresentable parts are treated with greater modesty, 24 whereas our presentable parts have no need of it. But God has composed the body, giving greater honor to the part that lacked it, 25 so that there should be no division in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another. 26 If one member suffers, all the members suffer with it.

Keep it to yourself before God. Blessed is the one who does not condemn himself by what he approves.
  • 1 Cor 8:9-9 : 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.
