Even if a particular thing may not hurt us personally, if it harmfully influences or affects someone else, it is a sin. “It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything else that will cause your brother to fall....We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak and not to please ourselves” (Romans 14:21; 15:1).
Hata kama kitu fulani hasa kisituchukize kibinafsi, kinaweza kuleta madhara mabaya kwa mtu mwingine hiyo ni dhambi. “Ni vyema kutokula nyama wala kunywa divai wala kutenda neno lo lote ambalo kwa hilo ndugu yako hukwazwa…..Basi imetupasa sisi tulio na nguvu kuuchukua udhaifu wao wasio na nguvu, wala haitupasi kujipendeza wenyewe” (Warumi 14:21; 15:1).
