What command does Paul give to all Christians (both strong and weak)?  (14:13)

What commands (and principles) does Paul give that are specifically relevant for Christians with a stronger conscience?

What behaviors does Paul identify as “walking in love”, that we should strive for?  What behaviors does he identify as “no longer walking in love”, that we should avoid?

Paul implies that violating one’s own conscience is a serious matter, that actually amounts to sinning against God.  (14:14, 14:23)  Why do you think that is the case?  Why is the conscience so important?  And why is it so important to listen to it?

Paul implies that, as Christians, our public reputation actually matters a great deal.  (14:16)  Why do you think that is the case?  Should Christians care about what other people think of them?  Why or why not?  Are there scenarios when Christians should choose not to be concerned about their reputation?

Paul teaches that Christians with stronger consciences should account for, and in many cases, defer to, Christians with weaker consciences.  (14:13, 14:15, 14:20, 14:21)  What does it look like to do this in a healthy way?  How (and when, and why) should stronger Christians defer to weaker Christians?  How (and when, and why) should they refuse to do so?

If the Bible is unclear on a particular issue or behavior, how can Christians determine if it is sinful or not?
