Romans 14:13-23 - The Law Of Love
13 let us not judge one another any more: but rather come to this determination, not to put a stumbling-block, or any thing in a brother's way, that may make him fall. 14 I know, being fully assured by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: it is only so to him that thinks it is unclean. 15 now if your brother be endanger'd by your eating, you violate the obligations of love: for such a matter as eating, will you risk his life, for whom Christ died? 16 Don't let our religion then be expos'd to reproach. 17 for the gospel dispensation does not consist in meats and drinks, but in piety and peace, and spiritual joy. 18 for he that thus pays his allegiance to Christ, is acceptable to God, and approved of men.
19 Let us therefore pursue those things which tend to peace, and mutual edification. 20 do not for such a thing as meat, pull down what God has been raising. all things indeed are pure; but they become evil to him who by eating giveth offence. 21 it is better to abstain from flesh, and wine, and every thing whereby your brother is in danger of falling off. 22 keep the persuasion you have, to your own conscience. blessed is he that approves himself to God, without making any difference about meats: 23 for he that makes a difference, is self-condemn'd, if he eats against his own persuasion: for every action of that kind is sin .
