Dear Iver,
You write:
>BDAG translates the same phrase as "eat with offense (to the scruples of
>another)". This is not a translation of Bauer, but a re-interpretation. It
>seems

>an accompanying circumstance and well into the function of EIS (resulting in
>offence to another person.)
Perhaps the strongest argument for the BDAG interpretation is Rom 14:21,
which says that "it is good not to eat meat or drink wine or (consume/do
anything) by which your brother stumbles." The UBS Greek-English Dictionary
defines PROSKOMMA in the phrase in Rom 14:20 as "one who eats something
that causes someone else to fall into sin."
Yours,
Harold Holmyard
