Romans 14:18

Do Not Pass Judgment On One Another

¹⁷ For the Kingdom of God does not consist of eating and drinking, but of righteousness and peace and gladness through the presence of the Holy Spirit. ¹⁸ He who serves the Christ in this way pleases God, and wins the approval of his fellow men. ¹⁹ Therefore our efforts should be directed towards all that makes for peace and the mutual building up of character.
