Romans 14:13-23
The Law of Love
13 Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in [his] brother’s way.
13:
14 I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that [there is] nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him [it is] unclean.
14:
15 But if thy brother be grieved with [thy] meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died.
15:
16 Let not then your good be evil spoken of:
16:
17 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
17:
18 For he that in these things serveth Christ [is] acceptable to God, and approved of men.
18:
19 Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.
19:
20 For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed [are] pure; but [it is] evil for that man who eateth with offence.
20:
21 [It is] good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor [any thing] whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.
21:
22 Hast thou faith? have [it] to thyself before God. Happy [is] he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.
22:
23 And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because [he eateth] not of faith: for whatsoever [is] not of faith is sin.
23:
