2 Timothy 2:19 Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal:
The Lord knows those who are His, and,
Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
iniquity-[G93] adikia=unrighteousness
Does a believer depart from unrighteousness by learning about sin, or how to walk by faith?
The righteousness of faith defines sin in the simplest of terms, lest there be anyone who
thinks they can take this lightly, as this is a high priority for a healthy Body.
Romans 14:
21 It is good neither to eat meat nor drink wine nor do
anything by which your brother stumbles or is offended or is made weak.
22 Do you have faith? Have it to yourself before God.
Happy is he who does not condemn himself in what he approves.
23 But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because he does not eat from faith;
for whatever is not from faith is sin.
If this is true for eating, it is true of every decision, every act that will effect the lives of others, and their relationship with the Lord.
Is to not offend others a primary trespass in the eyes of the Lord, and in the apostolic doctrine?
James 3:
1 My brethren, be not many teachers,
knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.
2 For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word,
the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.
