²⁰ Do not destroy what God has done in the life of any believer just because of your eating certain kinds of food MET which that person considers wrong to eat! God permits us to eat every kind of food. But if, by your eating certain kinds of food, you encourage another person to sin by doing what he believes is wrong, you are doing wrong.

¹⁹ So then, let’s follow after things which make for peace, and things by which we may build one another up.

²⁰ For the sake of meat do not destroy the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil to that man who eats while stumbling in doing so.

You know that there is nothing wrong with the food itself, but it is wrong for you to make another person to stop believing.
