Romans 14:14-15
( I know and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself. Still, to someone who considers a thing to be unclean, to that one it is unclean.)For if your brother is hurt by what you eat, you are no longer walking according to love. Do not destroy that one Christ died for by what you eat.

1 Corinthians 10 31-1 Corinthians 10 33
Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do everything for God’s glory.Give no offense to the Jews or the Greeks or the church of God,just as I also try to please all people in all things, not seeking my own profit, but the profit of many, so that they may be saved.

It’s not what goes into the mouth that defiles a man, but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man.”

1 Corinthians 6 12-1 Corinthians 6 13
“ Everything is permissible for me,” but not everything is helpful.“ Everything is permissible for me,” but I will not be brought under the control of anything.“ Food for the stomach and the stomach for food,” but God will do away with both of them. The body is not for sexual immorality but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.

1 Timothy 4 3-1 Timothy 4 5
They forbid marriage and demand abstinence from foods that God created to be received with gratitude by those who believe and know the truth.For everything created by God is good, and nothing should be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving,since it is sanctified by the word of God and by prayer.

1 Corinthians 8 8-1 Corinthians 8 13
Food will not make us acceptable to God. We are not inferior if we don’t eat, and we are not better if we do eat.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.
