Do Not Cause Another to Stumble
Romans 14:13-23
Let us not judge one another, Put no one at a stumbling block; As a hindrance to your brother, Clearing the path where they may walk. I know and I am persuaded, In the Lord nothing is unclean; Arguments can be evaded, From past distractions that have been. If your brother grieves what you eat, You will no longer walk in love; Offer him a meal with some meat, That would appeal to him thereof. Do not destroy Jesus who died, Let not good spoke of as evil; Rather let His Spirit abide, Blocking the lure of the devil. It is not what you eat or drink, But righteously for peace and joy; Heavenly thoughts that you should think, Rather than hawkish to destroy. Whosoever is serving Christ, Will be acceptable to God; And willing to be sacrificed, Through worship to honor and laud. Let us pursue what makes for peace, And your mutual upbuilding; So that all destruction will cease, Any offenses are yielding. Eat no meat nor drink any wine, To cause another to stumble; Keep faith in the Holy Divine,  As you always remain humble. Whoever doubts God will condemn; For deviating faith is a sin; Neither cold nor hot be for them, Exiled from Heaven therein.
