Romans 14:14-15
I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself. Still, to someone who considers a thing to be unclean, to that one it is unclean.For if your brother or sister is hurt by what you eat, you are no longer walking according to love. Do not destroy, by what you eat, someone for whom Christ died.

To the pure, everything is pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; in fact, both their mind and conscience are defiled.

1 Corinthians 10 31-1 Corinthians 10 33
So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do everything for the glory of God.Give no offense to Jews or Greeks or the church of God,just as I also try to please everyone in everything, not seeking my own benefit, but the benefit of many, so that they may be saved.

Matthew 15:11
It’s not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but what comes out of the mouth— this defiles a person.”

1 Corinthians 6 12-1 Corinthians 6 13
“ Everything is permissible for me,” but not everything is beneficial.“ Everything is permissible for me,” but I will not be mastered by anything.“ Food is for the stomach and the stomach for food,” and God will do away with both of them. However, the body is not for sexual immorality but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.

1 Timothy 4 3-1 Timothy 4 5
They forbid marriage and demand abstinence from foods that God created to be received with gratitude by those who believe and know the truth.For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving,since it is sanctified by the word of God and by prayer.

1 Corinthians 8 8-1 Corinthians 8 13
Food will not bring us close to God. We are not worse off if we don’t eat, and we are not better if we do eat.But be careful that this right of yours in no way becomes a stumbling block to the weak.For if someone sees you, the one who has knowledge, dining in an idol’s temple, won’t his weak conscience be encouraged to eat food offered to idols?So the weak person, the brother or sister for whom Christ died, is ruined by your knowledge.Now when you sin like this against brothers and sisters and wound their weak conscience, you are sinning against Christ.Therefore, if food causes my brother or sister to fall, I will never again eat meat, so that I won’t cause my brother or sister to fall.
