15
Yet if because of food your brother is grieved, you walk no longer in love. Don't destroy with your food him for whom Christ died.
19
So then, let us follow after things which make for peace, and things by which we may build one another up.
20
Don't overthrow God's work for food's sake. All things indeed are clean, however it is evil for that man who creates a stumbling block by eating.
1
Now we who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
2
Let each one of us please his neighbor for that which is good, to be building him up.
12
"All things are lawful for me," but not all things are expedient. "All things are lawful for me," but I will not be brought under the power of anything.
1
Now concerning things sacrificed to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.
9
But be careful that by no means does this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to the weak.
23
"All things are lawful for me," but not all things are profitable. "All things are lawful for me," but not all things build up.
3
But he who prophesies speaks to men for their edification, exhortation, and consolation.
4
He who speaks in another language edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the assembly.
5
Now I desire to have you all speak with other languages, but rather that you would prophesy. For he is greater who prophesies than he who speaks with other languages, unless he interprets, that the assembly may be built up.
12
So also you, since you are zealous for spiritual gifts, seek that you may abound to the building up of the assembly.
17
For you most certainly give thanks well, but the other person is not built up.
26
What is it then, brothers? When you come together, each one of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has another language, has an interpretation. Let all things be done to build each other up.
19
Again, do you think that we are excusing ourselves to you? In the sight of God we speak in Christ. But all things, beloved, are for your edifying.
29
Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but such as is good for building up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear.
11
Therefore exhort one another, and build each other up, even as you also do.

neither to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which cause disputes, rather than God's stewardship, which is in faith--
1Corinthiens 10.6.12 ; comparez 1Corinthiens 8.4, note.
- L'apôtre insiste sur ce qu'il a déjà dit (1Corinthiens 6) quant à l'emploi de la liberté chrétienne ; mais, tandis qu'auparavant il a traité ce sujet par rapport à celui-là même qui profite de cette liberté, ici il a surtout en vue l'édification des autres.
Selon la liberté chrétienne, toutes les choses où il n'y a point de péché sont permises (le texte reçu lit deux fois me sont permises) ; mais la charité veut que l'on consulte ce qui est avantageux aux autres, ce qui les édifie..
Par là, saint Paul revient à parler de l'usage des viandes qui ont servi aux sacrifices, (1Corinthiens 8.1 et suivants) mais d'un usage privé dans une famille, et non dans les repas religieux du paganisme : "S'il ne s'agit que de vous, vous êtes libres ; (versets 25-27) mais si vous froissiez une conscience, abstenez-vous, car, par la, vous ne sacrifiez pas votre liberté ; (versets 28-30) faites donc tout pour la gloire de Dieu et par un principe de charité." (1Corinthiens 10.31 ; 11. 1)
Selon l'apôtre Paul, les chrétiens doivent veiller à ne pas user de ce genre de liberté pour blesser certaines personnes, ou aller à l’encontre de leurs intérêts.
En ce qui concerne notre nourriture, notre boisson, et même tous nos actes, recherchons premièrement la Gloire de Dieu, en accomplissant ce qui Lui plaît et en L'honorant. C’est le but de notre piété : cela doit nous conduire à respecter toutes les ordonnances divines.
Un esprit saint, paisible, et bienveillant, désarmera les plus grands ennemis !
