Do not break down people that do not know God or have little faith. We are all in this together no one is better than anyone else. Do not inflict pain on people with people with little faith that is just making the situation worse. By punishing these people with sin for disobedience to the law you yourself are feeding the sin! Do not do things that may cause harm to others even if not directly intended. For example if you are around an ex alcoholic you should not be drinking. Instead of condemning people teach them.
There is this intuition built into all of us we all kind of know what is wrong. If you feel something might be wrong but you're not sure do not do it.

Accept everyone even if they are weak and have very little faith. Whatever is not of faith is sin. This chapter encourages us as if we are doing everything for the Lord. Do what is right not what is wrong. Don't do the wrong thing because others are doing it to be cool. Everyday do what the Lord would want you to do.

Like the first part and that sometimes we try to argue with people right at first when we need to give them some time to learn to grow and develop their own thoughts and opinions and strengthen their faith before we start to question them and tell them well this is right/wrong. We need to value each others opinions and preferences- just because they view things or see it differently doesn't mean they are wrong. Do what we feel is right and pleases the Lord even thought others may have different thoughts of it. We live not for ourselves but for the Lord.
Dont look down on others- its not our call to judge. Dont live in a manner that causes others to stumble so if you know someone has a problem and even though it might not be a sin if it causes someone else to sin then its wrong. Some things are just small matters and we shouldn't make a big deal out of them. We are called to live in harmony with each other!
Questions:
Do we judge or lift up other believers even if they have different opinions about things?
What are some examples of "sins" that you may not stumble but cause others too?

We lift up others because it is the right thing to do, what God wants us to do. If they have a different opinion that's their call.
Judgment may cause others to stumble. Judging one another will not help your self esteem at all.

Do not juge others but try to help them in their walk af they do not understand. If you have something that someone else really wants that may cause them to envy.
