14. I know and I’m convinced in the Lord Jesus that nothing is wrong to eat in itself. But if someone thinks something is wrong to eat, it becomes wrong for that person.
15. If your brother or sister is upset by your food, you are no longer walking in love. Don’t let your food destroy someone for whom Christ died.
16. And don’t let something you consider to be good be criticized as wrong.
17. God’s kingdom isn’t about eating food and drinking but about righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.
18. Whoever serves Christ this way pleases God and gets human approval.
