“For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.”
Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. All food is clean, but it is wrong for a person to eat anything that causes someone else to stumble. — Apollymi (destroy, ruin) to ergon tou Theou (God's work, likely referring to the weak person God is building up) di' autou (through food) is gravely wrong. Yes, panta katharē (all things are clean), but kakon (evil, bad) to esthiō (eat) if it becomes stumbling block (proskomma) to another.
