14. I know, and am persuaded in the Lord Yeshua, that nothing is unholy in itself; but it is unholy for the one who considers it unholy.
15. For if your brother is grieved on account of food, you are no longer walking according to love. Do not destroy by your food the one for whom Messiah died.
16. Therefore do not let what is good for you be spoken of as evil—
17. for the kingdom of God is not about eating and drinking, but righteousness and shalom and joy in the Ruach ha-Kodesh.
18. For the one who serves Messiah in this manner is pleasing to God and approved by men.
19. So then let us pursue what makes for shalom and for the building up of one another.
20. Stop tearing down the work of God for the sake of food. Indeed all things are clean, but wrong for the man who by eating causes stumbling.
21. It is good not to eat meat or drink wine or do anything by which your brother stumbles.
22. The faith you have, keep it to yourself before God. How fortunate is the one who does not condemn himself for what he approves.
23. But the one who has doubts is condemned if he eats, because it is not of faith. And whatever is not of faith is sin.
