Romans 14:15-23

15For if because of food your brother is hurt, you are no longer 1walking according to love. 2Do not destroy with your food him for whom Christ died.

16Therefore 3do not let what is for you a good thing be 4spoken of as evil;

17for the kingdom of God 5is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and 6peace and 7joy in the Holy Spirit.

18For he who in this way 8serves Christ is 9acceptable to God and approved by men.

19So then 10we 11pursue the things which make for peace and the 12building up of one another.

2013Do not tear down the work of God for the sake of food. 14All things indeed are clean, but 15they are evil for the man who eats 16and gives offense.

2117It is good not to eat meat or to drink wine, or to do anything by which your brother stumbles.

22The faith which you have, have 18as your own conviction before God. Happy is he who 19does not condemn himself in what he approves.

23But 20he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because his eating is not from faith; and whatever is not from faith is sin.
