To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all people, that by all means I might save some.
just as I try to please everyone in everything I do, not seeking my own advantage, but that of many, that they may be saved.
For though I am free from all, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win more of them.
We who are strong have an obligation to bear with the failings of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
in order somehow to make my fellow Jews jealous, and thus save some of them.
Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted.
Therefore, if food makes my brother stumble, I will never eat meat, lest I make my brother stumble.
Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is made to fall, and I am not indignant?
For how do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?
