1 Corinthians 12 22-1 Corinthians 12 26
But even more, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are necessary.And those parts of the body that we think to be less honorable, we clothe these with greater honor, and our unpresentable parts have a better presentation.But our presentable parts have no need of clothing. Instead, God has put the body together, giving greater honor to the less honorable,so that there would be no division in the body, but that the members would have the same concern for each other.So if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.

Romans 14:19-22
So then, we must pursue what promotes peace and what builds up one another.Do not tear down God’s work because of food. Everything is clean, but it is wrong for a man to cause stumbling by what he eats.It is a noble thing not to eat meat, or drink wine, or do anything that makes your brother stumble.Do you have a conviction? Keep it to yourself before God. The man who does not condemn himself by what he approves is blessed.

1 Corinthians 8 9-1 Corinthians 8 13
But be careful that this right of yours in no way becomes a stumbling block to the weak.For if someone sees you, the one who has this knowledge, dining in an idol’s temple, won’t his weak conscience be encouraged to eat food offered to idols?Then the weak person, the brother for whom Christ died, is ruined by your knowledge.Now when you sin like this against the brothers and wound their weak conscience, you are sinning against Christ.Therefore, if food causes my brother to fall, I will never again eat meat, so that I won’t cause my brother to fall.
