Context Readings

Do Not Pass Judgment On One Another

20 For the sake of meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are clean; but it is an evil thing for a man to eat, giving offence. 21 It is laudable not to eat flesh, or to drink wine, nor to do any thing whereby thy brother is stumbled, or scandalized, or weakened. 22 Hast thou faith, exercise it before God within thyself. Blessed is the man who condemneth not himself in that which he alloweth.
