Romans 14:13-21 ▼

13 Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, not to lay a stumbling-block or scandal before a brother.

14 I know and have been taught by the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean of itself: only to him that thinketh any thing unclean, to him it is unclean.

15 But if thy brother be grieved by thy food, thou dost not herein walk in love. Do not by thy food destroy him, for whom Christ died.

16 Let not your liberty then be evil-spoken of: for the kingdom of God consists not in meat and drink;

17 but in righteousness and peace, and joy in the holy Ghost: for he,

18 that in these serveth Christ, is acceptable to God, and approved by men.

19 Let us then pursue peace, and mutual edification.

20 Do not for the sake of meat destroy thy brother who is the work of God: all things indeed are pure; but to the man that eateth with offence it is evil.

21 It is good not to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor to do any thing at which thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or weakened.
