1 Corinthians 10:29

Here the apostle tells them that they ought to abstain from that which is lawful and indifferent in itself, for the sake of another man's conscience. This meat had not been unlawful to them, though offered to idols, had they not been told that it was so offered; but being made acquainted therewith, for the sake of him that showed thee it was offered to idols, forbear eating; for why should our liberty be so used by us as to be judged of and condemned by another man's conscience? It is not enough that we do what is just and right in our own sight, but we must provide things honest in the sight of all men. Whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; these we must practise, and none but these.

And observable is the apostle's reason, why we should, for the sake of another, abstain from eating that meat which was lawful in itself, 1 Corinthians 10:30: namely, to prevent being evil spoken of: Why am. evil spoken of? That is, why should. cause another to speak evil of me, for eating that meat which. might without any prejudice forbear? For in so doing. shall certainly abuse my liberty, grieve God, and offend the weak.
