Therefore, if food makes my brother stumble, I will never eat meat, lest I make my brother stumble.

So if you have such cases, why do you lay them before those who have no standing in the church? I say this to your shame. Can it be that there is no one among you wise enough to settle a dispute between the brothers, ...
