Don’t put an occasion to fall in your brother’s way

³ Let not him that eateth despise (treat as contemptible) him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.

⁶ He that regardeth (observeth) the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.

Romans 14:13
