<p>10:29 <em>Conscience, I say, not your own, but the other's. One may ask: Why is my liberty judged by another&rsquo;s conscience?- </em>&quot;But it's OK in <em>my</em> conscience&quot; is not therefore an appropriate argument for someone committed to building up their weaker brother. The freedom or liberty in view is that provided by the Spirit- &quot;for where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty&quot; (2 Cor. 3:17). The Corinthians lacked the Spirit (1 Cor. 3:1), hence they laboured under the bondage of legalism and guilt by association, worrying the prehistory of the meat they ate might make them unclean. It was the Judaists who specifically tried to take believers away from the liberty they had in Christ (Gal. 2:4). Gal. 5:13 contrasts our liberty with the need to &quot;by love serve one another&quot;. And so Paul now goes on to argue that our freedom is overridden by the need to not make our weak, unspiritual brother to stumble.</p>
