13. Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumbling block or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.
14. I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteems anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
15. But if your brother is grieved with your food, you no longer walk in love. Destroy not him with your food, for whom Christ died.
16. Let not then your good be evil spoken of:
17. For the kingdom of God is not food and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.
18. For he that in these things serves Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men.
19. Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things with which one may edify another.
20. For food destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eats with offense.
21. It is good neither to eat meat, nor to drink wine, nor anything by which your brother stumbles, or is offended, or is made weak.
22. Have you faith? have it to yourself before God. Happy is he that condemns not himself in that thing which he allows.
