It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor anything by which your brother stumbles, or is offended, or is made weak.
But you have turned out of the way; you have caused many to stumble at the law. You have corrupted the covenant of Levi, says Jehovah of Hosts.
But he has no root in himself, and is temporary. For when tribulation or persecution arises on account of the Word, he immediately stumbles.
But He turned and said to Peter, Go, Satan! You are an offense to Me, for you do not savor the things that are of God, but those that are of men.
Then let us not judge one another any more, but rather judge this, not to put a stumbling-block or an offense toward his brother.
for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
Therefore, if food offends my brother, I will eat no flesh forever, that I do not offend my brother.
But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours becomes a stumbling block to those who are weak.
that you may distinguish between things that differ, that you may be sincere and without offense until the day of Jesus Christ,
And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way, but let it rather be healed.
But I have a few things against you, because you have there those who hold the teachings of Balaam, who taught Balak to cast a stumbling-block before the sons of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols and to commit fornication.
