The stronger ones should be carrying the weaker ones. We should build them up and not just please ourselves.

If you have the freedom to eat and drink what you want then keep it between you and God. If your hearts condemns you but you follow the crowd and approve of it then you have sinned.

Don't use your liberty to cause some one to stumble. If you do you are not operating in love.
