1 Corinthians 8:9
_ _ this liberty of yours — the watchword for lax Corinthians. The very indifference of meats, which I concede, is the reason why ye should “take heed” not to tempt weak brethren to act against their conscience (which constitutes sin, Romans 14:22, Romans 14:23). |

Romans 14:20-21 For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed [are] pure; but [it is] evil for that man who eateth with offence. ... [It is] good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor [any thing] whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.
Galatians 5:13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only [use] not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
1 Peter 2:16 As free, and not using [your] liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.

Romans 14:20 For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed [are] pure; but [it is] evil for that man who eateth with offence.
