Romans 14:21-23
Living Bible
21 The right thing to do is to quit eating meat or drinking wine or doing anything else that offends your brother or makes him sin. 22 You may know that there is nothing wrong with what you do, even from God’s point of view, but keep it to yourself; don’t flaunt your faith in front of others who might be hurt by it. In this situation, happy is the man who does not sin by doing what he knows is right. 23 But anyone who believes that something he wants to do is wrong shouldn’t do it. He sins if he does, for he thinks it is wrong, and so for him it is wrong. Anything that is done apart from what he feels is right is sin.

Romans 14:21-23
New International Version
21 It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything else that will cause your brother or sister to fall.(A)
22 So whatever you believe about these things keep between yourself and God. Blessed is the one who does not condemn(B) himself by what he approves. 23 But whoever has doubts(C) is condemned if they eat, because their eating is not from faith; and everything that does not come from faith is sin.[a]
