1 Corinthians 8:13

Fellowship and the churchLove for othersSelf-control

11 So this weak brother, for whom Christ died, is destroyed by your knowledge.

12 By sinning against your brothers in this way and wounding their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.

Therefore, if what I eat causes my brother to stumble, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause him to stumble.
