It defines terms such as "weak," "stumble," "stumbling block," and "offense" as used by Paul, and clarifies what these terms do not mean. It emphasizes deferring to the weaker brother and not using them to control behavior, while also encouraging the stronger brother to help the weaker one gain spiritual maturity.
