1 Co. 8:4,7‑13• 4Acerca, pues, de las viandas que son saacrificadas á los ídolos, sabemos que el ídolo nada es en el mundo, y que no hay más de un Dios.
7Mas no en todos hay esta ciencia: porque algunos con conciencia del ídolo hasta aquí, comen como sacrificado á ídolos; y su conciencia, siendo flaca, es contaminada.
8Si bien la vianda no nos hace más aceptos á Dios: porque ni que comamos, seremos más ricos; ni que no comamos, seremos más pobres.
9Mas mirad que esta vuestra libertad no sea tropezadero á los que son flacos.
10Porque si te ve alguno, á ti que tienes ciencia, que estás sentado á la mesa en el lugar de los ídolos, ¿la conciencia de aquel que es flaco, no será adelantada á comer de lo sacrificado á los ídolos?
11Y por tu ciencia se perderá el hermano flaco por el cual Cristo murió.
12De esta manera, pues, pecando contra los hermanos, é hiriendo su flaca conciencia, contra Cristo pecáis.
13Por lo cual, si la comida es á mi hermano ocasión de caer, jamás comeré carne por no escandalizar á mi hermano.
(1 Co. 8:4,7‑13)

1 Co. 9:12• 12Si otros tienen en vosotros esta potestad, ¿no más bien nosotros? Mas no hemos usado de esta potestad: antes lo sufrimos todo, por no poner ningún obstáculo al evangelio de Cristo. (1 Co. 9:12)
;
1 Co. 10:24‑33• 24Ninguno busque su propio bien, sino el del otro.
25De todo lo que se vende en la carnicería, comed, sin preguntar nada por causa de la conciencia;
26Porque del Señor es la tierra y lo que la hinche.
27Y si algún infiel os llama, y queréis ir, de todo lo que se os pone delante comed, sin preguntar nada por causa de la conciencia.
28Mas si alguien os dijere: Esto fué sacrificado á los ídolos: no lo comáis, por causa de aquel que lo declaró, y por causa de la conciencia: porque del Señor es la tierra y lo que la hinche.
29La conciencia, digo, no tuya, sino del otro. Pues ¿por qué ha de ser juzgada mi libertad por otra conciencia?
30Y si yo con agradecimiento participo, ¿por qué he de ser blasfemado por lo que doy gracias?
31Si pues coméis, ó bebéis, ó hacéis otra cosa, haced lo todo á gloria de Dios.
32Sed sin ofensa á Judíos, y á Gentiles, y á la iglesia de Dios;
33Como también yo en todas las cosas complazco á todos, no procurando mi propio beneficio, sino el de muchos, para que sean salvos.

Ro. 14:15‑23• 15Empero si por causa de la comida tu hermano es contristado, ya no andas conforme á la caridad. No arruines con tu comida á aquél por el cual Cristo murió.
16No sea pues blasfemado vuestro bien:
17Que el reino de Dios no es comida ni bebida, sino justicia y paz y gozo por el Espíritu Santo.
18Porque el que en esto sirve á Cristo, agrada á Dios, y es acepto á los hombres.
19Así que, sigamos lo que hace á la paz, y á la edificación de los unos á los otros.
20No destruyas la obra de Dios por causa de la comida. Todas las cosas á la verdad son limpias: mas malo es al hombre que come con escándalo.
21Bueno es no comer carne, ni beber vino, ni nada en que tu hermano tropiece, ó se ofenda ó sea debilitado.
22¿Tienes tú fe? Tenla para contigo delante de Dios. Bienaventurado el que no se condena á sí mismo con lo que aprueba.
23Mas el que hace diferencia, si comiere, es condenado, porque no comió por fe: y todo lo que no es de fe, es pecado.
(Ro. 14:15‑23)

2 Ts. 3:9• 9No porque no tuviésemos potestad, sino por daros en nosotros un dechado, para que nos imitaseis. (2 Ts. 3:9)
but I.
 if all things are lawful to the Christian, he refuses to be brought under the power of anything: were it not so, it would be bondage, not liberty. Thus to have regard for others' good must be kept up, as well the liberty itself intact. The Christian is called to serve others, never to be the slave of a habit in anything great or small.
