New American Standard Bible 1995

Romans 14:12-17

12So then 1each one of us will give an account of himself to God.

13Therefore let us not 2judge one another anymore, but rather determine this--3not to put an obstacle or a stumbling block in a brother’s way. 14I know and am convinced 4in the Lord Jesus that 5nothing is unclean in itself; but to him who 6thinks anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean. 15For if because of food your brother is hurt, you are no longer 7walking according to love. 8Do not destroy with your food him for whom Christ died. 16Therefore 9do not let what is for you a good thing be 10spoken of as evil; 17for the kingdom of God 11is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and 12peace and 13joy in the Holy Spirit.
