    9but see, lest this privilege of yours may become a stumbling-block to the infirm,

    10for if any one may see thee that hast knowledge in an idol's temple reclining at meat -- shall not his conscience -- he being infirm -- be emboldened to eat the things sacrificed to idols,

    11and the brother who is infirm shall perish by thy knowledge, because of whom Christ died?

    4Thou -- who art thou that art judging another's domestic? to his own master he doth stand or fall; and he shall be made to stand, for God is able to make him stand.

    5One doth judge one day above another, and another doth judge every day `alike'; let each in his own mind be fully assured.

    6He who is regarding the day, to the Lord he doth regard `it', and he who is not regarding the day, to the Lord he doth not regard `it'. He who is eating, to the Lord he doth eat, for he doth give thanks to God; and he who is not eating, to the Lord he doth not eat, and doth give thanks to God.
