    13Exhortation for the Strong not to Destroy the Weak Therefore we must not pass judgment on one another, but rather determine never to place an obstacle or a trap before a brother or sister.

    15For if your brother or sister is distressed because of what you eat, you are no longer walking in love. Do not destroy by your food someone for whom Christ died.

    16Therefore do not let what you consider good be spoken of as evil.
