13 Then let us no longer judge one another: but rather judge this, not to place before a brother an offence for a stumblingblock. 14 I know, and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: except to him who considers it unclean, to him it is unclean. 15 But if your brother is grieved on account of your meat, you are no longer walking in divine love. Do not by your meat destroy him for whom Christ died. 16 Let not your good be blasphemed. 17 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Ghost. 18 For in this the one serving Christ is acceptable to God, and approved unto men. 19 Then therefore we pursue the things belonging to peace, and edification towards one another. 20 Do not destroy the work of God on account of meat. All things are pure; but it is evil to the man who eats with offence: 21 it is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor anything by which your brother stumbles.
