Romans 14:19

Do Not Pass Judgment On One Another

¹⁸ and whoever in this way devotedly serves Christ, God takes pleasure in him, and men highly commend him. ¹⁹ Therefore let us aim at whatever makes for peace and mutual upbuilding of character. ²⁰ Do not for food's sake be throwing down God's work. All food is pure; but a man is in the wrong if his food is a snare to others.
