11 And so by your knowledge this weak person is ^fdestroyed, the brother for whom Christ died.

15 For if your brother is grieved by what you eat, ^eyou are no longer walking in love. ^fBy what you eat, do not destroy the one for whom Christ died.

Do Not Pass Judgment on One Another

1 As for ^mthe one who is weak in faith, welcome him, but not to quarrel over opinions.

13 Therefore, ⁱif food makes my brother stumble, I will never eat meat, lest I make my brother stumble.

20 ⁿDo not, for the sake of food, destroy the work of God. ^oEverything is indeed clean, but ^pit is wrong for anyone to make another stumble by what he eats. 21 ^qIt is good not to eat meat or drink wine or do anything that causes your brother to stumble.¹

The Example of Christ

1 ^sWe who are strong ^thave an obligation to bear with the failings of the weak, and not to please ourselves. 2 ^uLet each of us please his neighbor for his good, to build him up. 3 For ^vChrist did not please himself, but as it is written, ^w“The reproaches of those who reproached you fell on me.”

The Example of Christ

1 ^sWe who are strong ^thave an obligation to bear with the failings of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

33 just as ^xI try to please everyone in everything I do, ^ynot seeking my own advantage, but that of many, that they may be saved.

1 ^zBe imitators of me, as I am of Christ.
