Romans 14:15-17
KJV(i) 15 But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died. 16 Let not then your good be evil spoken of: 17 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
Romans 14:15-17
Complete Jewish Bible
15 and if your brother is being upset by the food you eat, your life is no longer one of love. Do not, by your eating habits, destroy someone for whom the Messiah died! 16 Do not let what you know to be good, be spoken of as bad; 17 for the Kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, shalom and joy in the Ruach HaKodesh.

These are my thoughts, please share yours.
15 Just as they should not eat food the may cause their brothers in faith to stumble, we should not do things to cause our brothers to stumble, God willing. We should do things out of love first for Christ than for our brother; unless Christ has called us to we should not do things that may cause those who are faith to stumble. There are things we can give up to prevent our brother from falling; we should be willing to make this sacrifice. In my area what I give up for brothers in alcohol, while having little wine is not wrong many come from a background where they did not stop with a little and many are still tempted with this so I stay away from it not just for my sake but for theirs as well.
16 We should not let the good things we do discourage others but we should do these things to up lift Christ and by doing this up lift those that have Christ as Lord.
17 We do not get our spiritually fill from anything this world has but we get our fill of the Spirit. We need not to worry about getting our fill with food if it causes our brother to stumble but need to worry about getting our fill with Jesus the one who is righteous and by Him we can be as well. He is the one that gives us a peace and joy. We not do anything to jeopardize our brother’s fill of Jesus.
