Romans 14:12-17

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

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