Romans 14:13-23
-
13 Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.
-
14 I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
-
15 But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died.
-
16 Let not then your good be evil spoken of:
-
17 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
-
18 For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men.
-
19 Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.
-
20 For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.
-
21 It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.
-
22 Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.
-
23 And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.
