1 Corinthians 12 22-1 Corinthians 12 26
On the contrary, it is much truer that the parts of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary;and those parts of the body which we consider less honorable, on these we bestow greater honor, and our less presentable parts become much more presentable,whereas our more presentable parts have no need of it. But God has so composed the body, giving more abundant honor to that part which lacked,so that there may be no division in the body, but that the parts may have the same care for one another.And if one part of the body suffers, all the parts suffer with it; if a part is honored, all the parts rejoice with it.

1 Corinthians 13 4-1 Corinthians 13 5

Romans 14:19-22
So then we pursue the things which make for peace and the building up of one another.Do not tear down the work of God for the sake of food. All things indeed are clean, but they are evil for the person who eats and causes offense.It is good not to eat meat or to drink wine, or to do anything by which your brother or sister stumbles.The faith which you have, have as your own conviction before God. Happy is the one who does not condemn himself in what he approves.

2 Corinthians 11 29
Who is weak without my being weak? Who is led into sin without my intense concern?

1 Corinthians 8 9-1 Corinthians 8 13
But take care that this freedom of yours does not somehow become a stumbling block to the weak.For if someone sees you, the one who has knowledge, dining in an idol’s temple, will his conscience, if he is weak, not be strengthened to eat things sacrificed to idols?For through your knowledge the one who is weak is ruined, the brother or sister for whose sake Christ died.And so, by sinning against the brothers and sisters and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ.Therefore, if food causes my brother to sin, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause my brother to sin.

Matthew 18:6
but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it is better for him that a heavy millstone be hung around his neck, and that he be drowned in the depths of the sea.
