Romans 14:14-20
14I knowG3609 and am convincedG3982 1in the LordG2962 JesusG2424 that 2nothingG3762 is 3uncleanG2839 in itselfG1438; but to the one who 4thinksG3049 somethingG5100 is 5uncleanG2839, to that person it is 6uncleanG2839.
15For ifG1487 becauseG1223 of foodG1033 your brotherG80 or sister is hurtG3076, you are noG3765 longerG3765 7walkingG4043 inG2596 accordanceG2596 withG2596 loveG26. 8Do not destroyG622 with your choice of foodG1033 that person for whomG3739 ChristG5547 diedG599.
16ThereforeG3767 9do not let whatG18 isG18 for you a goodG18 thingG18 be 10spokenG987 ofG987 asG987 evilG987;
17for the kingdomG932 of GodG2316 11is not eatingG1035 and drinkingG4213, but righteousnessG1343 and 12peaceG1515 and 13joyG5479 in the HolyG40 SpiritG4151.
18For the one who 14servesG1398 ChristG5547 in thisG3778 way is 15acceptableG2101 to GodG2316 and approvedG1384 by other peopleG444.
19SoG686 thenG3767 we 16pursueG1377 the things 17which make for peaceG1515 and the 18buildingG3619 upG3619 of oneG240 anotherG240.
2019Do not tearG2647 downG2647 the workG2041 of GodG2316 for the sakeG1752 of foodG1033. 20AllG3956 thingsG3956 indeedG3303 are cleanG2513, but 21they are evilG2556 for the personG444 who eatsG2068 22and causesG1223 offenseG4348.
