Bible verses about "safety" | Godbey

¹⁶ Behold, I send you forth like sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.

¹ But receive to yourselves him who is weak in faith, not into disputations of doubtful matters. ² One indeed believes he is to eat all things: another who is weak, vegetables. ³ Let not the one eating snub the one not eating. Let not the one not eating judge the one eating; for God received him. ⁴ Who art thou judging another man's servant? to his own master he stands or falls: but he shall stand; for God is able to make him stand. ⁵ For one indeed judges a day above a day: another judges every day (alike); let each one be fully persuaded in his own mind. ⁶ The one regarding the day, regards it to the Lord: the one eating, eats to the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and the one not eating, eats not to the Lord, and gives thanks to God. ⁷ For no one of us lives to himself, and no one dies to himself: ⁸ for if indeed we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord.

Do not by your meat destroy him for whom Christ died. ¹⁶ Let not your good be blasphemed. ¹⁷ For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Ghost. ¹⁸ For in this the one serving Christ is acceptable to God, and approved unto men. ¹⁹ Then therefore we pursue the things belonging to peace, and edification towards one another. ²⁰ Do not destroy the work of God on account of meat. All things are pure; but it is evil to the man who eats with offence: ²¹ it is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor anything by which your brother stumbles. ²² The faith which you have, have it with yourself before God.
