Romans 14:13-23 - The Law Of Love
13 Let us therefore no more judge one another; but judge this rather, that no one put a stumbling-block or offence before his brother. 14 I know, and am convinced by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself; but to him who thinketh any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean. 15 But if by meat thy brother is grieved, thou walkest no more according to love. Do not by thy meat destroy him for whom Christ died. 16 Let not therefore food, which is good for you, give occasion of reproach. 17 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink, but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. 18 For he who in these things is the servant of Christ, is acceptable to God, and approved of men.
19 Well then, let us earnestly pursue the things that conduce to peace, and the things which are for mutual edification. 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. 23 But he that maketh a difference between meats, if he eat is condemned, because he doth it not by faith: for every thing which is not of faith, is sin.
