Principles of Conscience

14 Now ^(A)accept the one who is ^(B)weak in faith, but not for the purpose of passing judgment on his opinions.

Self-denial on Behalf of Others

15 Now we who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of ^(A)those without strength and not just please ourselves.

⁹ But ^(A)take care that this ^[a]liberty of yours does not somehow become a stumbling block to the ^(B)weak. ¹⁰ For if someone sees you, who have ^(C)knowledge, dining in an idol’s temple, will not his conscience, if he is weak, be strengthened to eat ^(D)things sacrificed to idols? ¹¹ For through ^(E)your knowledge he who is weak ^(F)is ruined, the brother for whose sake Christ died. ^12 (G)And so, by sinning against the brethren and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin ^(H)against Christ. ¹³ Therefore, ^(I)if food causes my brother to stumble, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause my brother to stumble.

²² To the ^(A)weak I became weak, that I might win the weak; I have become ^(B)all things to all men, ^(C)so that I may by all means save some.
