Romans 14:14-15
I know, and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean of itself: save that to him who accounteth anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.For if because of meat thy brother is grieved, thou walkest no longer in love. Destroy not with thy meat him for whom Christ died.

Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.Give no occasion of stumbling, either to Jews, or to Greeks, or to the church of God:even as I also please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of the many, that they may be saved.

All things are lawful for me; but not all things are expedient. All things are lawful for me; but I will not be brought under the power of any.Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall bring to nought both it and them. But the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body:

1 Timothy 4 3-1 Timothy 4 5

1 Corinthians 8 8-1 Corinthians 8 13
But food will not commend us to God: neither, if we eat not, are we the worse; nor, if we eat, are we the better.But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to the weak.For if a man see thee who hast knowledge sitting at meat in an idol’s temple, will not his conscience, if he is weak, be emboldened to eat things sacrificed to idols?For through thy knowledge he that is weak perisheth, the brother for whose sake Christ died.And thus, sinning against the brethren, and wounding their conscience when it is weak, ye sin against Christ.Wherefore, if meat causeth my brother to stumble, I will eat no flesh for evermore, that I cause not my brother to stumble.
