14 I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus that ^enothing is unclean in itself, but it is unclean ^ffor anyone who thinks it unclean. 15 For if your brother is grieved by what you eat, you are ^gno longer walking in love. ^hBy what you eat, do not destroy the one for whom Christ died. 16 So do not let what you regard as good be spoken of as evil.

28 ^bBut if someone says to you, “This has been offered in sacrifice,” then do not eat it, for the sake of the one who informed you, and for the sake of conscience— 29 I do not mean your conscience, but his. For why should my liberty be determined by someone else’s conscience?
