17 For the kyngdome of God, is not meat and drinke: but righteousnesse, & peace, and ioy in the holy ghost. 18 For he that in these thynges serueth Christe, pleaseth God, and is comended of men. 19 Let vs therfore folowe those thynges which make for peace, & thynges wherwith one may edifie another. 20 Destroy not the worke of God for meates sake. All thinges are pure: but it is euyll for that man, which eateth with offence. 21 It is good neither to eate fleshe, neither to drinke wine, neither any thyng wherby thy brother stumbleth, either falleth, or is made weake. 22 Hast thou fayth? Haue it with thy selfe before God. Happy is he that condempneth not hym selfe in the thyng which he aloweth. 23 For he that maketh conscience, is damned yf he eate, because he eateth not of fayth: For whatsoeuer is not of fayth, is sinne.
