[It is] right not to eat meat, nor drink wine, nor [do anything] in which thy brother stumbles, or is offended, or is weak.

It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.

In Context

22Hast *thou* faith? have [it] to thyself before God. Blessed [is] he who does not judge himself in what he allows.
