Romans 14:14-23

14I knowG1492, andG2532 am persuadedG3982 byG1722 the LordG2962 JesusG2424, thatG3754 there is nothingG3762 uncleanG2839 ofG1223 itselfG1438: butG3361 to him that esteemethG3049 any thingG5100 to beG1510 uncleanG2839, to himG1565 it is uncleanG2839.

15ButG1161 ifG1487 thyG4771 brotherG3588G80 be grievedG3076 withG1223 thy meatG1033, nowG3765 walkest thouG4043 notG3765 charitablyG26. DestroyG622 notG3361 himG1565 withG3588G1033 thyG4771 meatG3588G1033, forG5228 whomG3739 ChristG5547 diedG599.

16LetG987 notG3361 thenG3767 yourG4771 goodG18 be evil spoken ofG987:

17ForG1063 the kingdomG3588G932 of GodG3588G2316 isG1510 notG3756 meatG1035 andG2532 drinkG4213; butG235 righteousnessG1343, andG2532 peaceG1515, andG2532 joyG5479 inG1722 theG4151 HolyG40 GhostG4151.

18ForG1063 he thatG1398 inG1722 these thingsG3778 servethG1398 ChristG3588G5547 is acceptableG2101 to GodG3588G2316, andG2532 approvedG1384 of menG3588G444.

19Let usG1377 thereforeG3767 follow afterG1377 the thingsG3588 which make for peaceG3588G1515, andG2532 thingsG3588 wherewith one may edifyG3588G3619 anotherG240.

20ForG1752 meatG1033 destroyG2647 notG3361 the workG3588G2041 of GodG3588G2316. All thingsG3956 indeedG3303 are pureG2513; butG235 it is evilG2556 for that manG3588G444 who eatethG2068 withG1223 offenceG4348.

21It is goodG2570 neitherG3361 to eatG5315 fleshG2907, norG3366 to drinkG4095 wineG3631, norG3366 any thing wherebyG1722 thyG4771 brotherG3588G80 stumblethG4350, orG2228 is offendedG4624, orG2228 is made weakG770.

22HastG2192 thouG4771 faithG4102? haveG2192 it toG2596 thyselfG4572 beforeG1799 GodG3588G2316. HappyG3107 is he that condemnethG2919 notG3361 himselfG1438 inG1722 that thing whichG3739 he allowethG1381.

23AndG1161 he that doubtethG1252 is damnedG2632 ifG1437 he eatG5315, becauseG3754 he eateth notG3756 ofG1537 faithG4102: forG1161 whatsoeverG3956 is notG3756 ofG1537 faithG4102 isG1510 sinG266.
