William MacDonald paraphrased well, “Why should I selfishly display my freedom to eat the meat and in so doing be condemned by the other man’s conscience? Why should I expose my freedom to the condemnation of his conscience? Why should I let my good be evil spoken of?…Is a piece of meat so important that I should cause such an offence to a fellow believer in the Lord Jesus Christ?” Indeed, let not then your good be evil spoken of. Romans 14:16 (KJV)
