Romans 14:17-23 ▼

17 for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.

18 Whoever serves Christ in this way is acceptable to God and receives human approval.

19 So then, let us pursue what promotes peace and what builds up one another.

20 Do not tear down God’s work because of food. Everything is clean, but it is wrong to make someone fall by what he eats.

21 It is a good thing not to eat meat, or drink wine, or do anything that makes your brother or sister stumble.

22 Whatever you believe about these things, keep between yourself and God. Blessed is the one who does not condemn himself by what he approves.

23 But whoever doubts stands condemned if he eats, because his eating is not from faith, and everything that is not from faith is sin.
