Get out of the way, God will do the judging. Our role is to take away people's obstacles and leave the rest to God. Actually, scratch that. Our role is to not add stumbling blocks to others that are in Christ or seeking.
This is also a great passage about the whole alcohol debate. This passage is speaking about eating the wrong things around other believers. In context, it would have been hard for Paul to convince a devout jew that Christ was the messiah if he was eating a pork chop. The central message it to not distract others from Christ by giving them a distraction of form. The same can be said of the drink. If you are around Christians who think the bible prohibits drink, don't drink. Easy. You don't have to convince them they are wrong. That isn't your role. Simple.
