所謂良心、非爾心、乃彼心也、蓋我之自由、胡為被他人之良心擬議乎、

所謂心疑者、非爾心、乃彼心也、奈何以我之得自由、使他人心非我哉、

我所言之心、非爾之心、乃彼之心、何使我之自由、為他人之心所非乎、

此所謂良心平安、非指爾之良心、乃指彼之良心。寧能以吾之自由、供他人之腹誹乎？

Stay away from every kind of evil.

Don’t give offense to Jews or Gentiles or the church of God.

We are careful to be honorable before the Lord, but we also want everyone else to see that we are honorable.

And if another believer is distressed by what you eat, you are not acting in love if you eat it. Don’t let your eating ruin someone for whom Christ died.Then you will not be criticized for doing something you believe is good.For the Kingdom of God is not a matter of what we eat or drink, but of living a life of goodness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.If you serve Christ with this attitude, you will please God, and others will approve of you, too.So then, let us aim for harmony in the church and try to build each other up.Don’t tear apart the work of God over what you eat. Remember, all foods are acceptable, but it is wrong to eat something if it makes another person stumble.It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or do anything else if it might cause another believer to stumble.

But you must be careful so that your freedom does not cause others with a weaker conscience to stumble.For if others see you— with your“ superior knowledge”— eating in the temple of an idol, won’t they be encouraged to violate their conscience by eating food that has been offered to an idol?So because of your superior knowledge, a weak believer for whom Christ died will be destroyed.And when you sin against other believers by encouraging them to do something they believe is wrong, you are sinning against Christ.So if what I eat causes another believer to sin, I will never eat meat again as long as I live— for I don’t want to cause another believer to stumble.
