Romans 14:21

It is laudable not to eat flesh, or to drink wine, nor to do any thing whereby thy brother is stumbled, or scandalized, or weakened.

Thomas Haweis 1795 New Testament

In The King James Version

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, exercise it before God within thyself. Blessed is the man who condemneth not himself in that which he alloweth.
