Romans 14:15

Next

But if thy brother be grieved with [thy] meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died.

But {G1161} if {G1487} thy {G4675} brother {G80} be grieved {G3076} with {G1223} thy meat {G1033}, now {G3765} walkest thou {G4043} not {G3765} charitably {G26}{G2596}. Destroy {G622} not {G3361} him {G1565} with thy {G4675} meat {G1033}, for {G5228} whom {G3739} Christ {G5547} died {G599}.

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!

If your brother is distressed by what you eat, you are no longer acting in love. Do not by your eating destroy your brother, for whom Christ died.

For if because of meat thy brother is grieved, thou walkest no longer in love. Destroy not with thy meat him for whom Christ died.
