Romans 14:14-20
14I knowG3609 and am convincedG3982 1in the LordG2962 JesusG2424 that 2nothingG3762 is uncleanG2839 in itselfG1438; but to him who 3thinksG3049 anythingG5100 to be uncleanG2839, to him it is uncleanG2839.
15For ifG1487 becauseG1223 of foodG1033 your brotherG80 is hurtG3076, you are noG3765 longerG3765 4walkingG4043 accordingG2596 to loveG26. 5Do not destroyG622 with your foodG1033 him for whomG3739 ChristG5547 diedG599.
16ThereforeG3767 6do not let whatG18 is for you a goodG18 thingG18 be 7spokenG987 of as evilG987;
17for the kingdomG932 of GodG2316 8is not eatingG1035 and drinkingG4213, but righteousnessG1343 and 9peaceG1515 and 10joyG5479 in the HolyG40 SpiritG4151.
18For he who in thisG3778 way 11servesG1398 ChristG5547 is 12acceptableG2101 to GodG2316 and approvedG1384 by menG444.
19SoG686 thenG686 13we 14pursueG1377 the things which make for peaceG1515 and the 15buildingG3619 up of oneG240 anotherG240.
2016Do not tearG2647 downG2647 the workG2041 of GodG2316 for the sakeG1752 of foodG1033. 17AllG3956 thingsG3956 indeedG3303 are cleanG2513, but 18they are evilG2556 for the manG444 who eatsG2068 19and givesG1223 offenseG4348.
