Romans 14:11-17

¹¹For it is said in the holy Writings, By my life, says the Lord, to me every knee will be bent, and every tongue will give worship to God.

¹²So every one of us will have to give an account of himself to God.

¹³Then let us not be judges of one another any longer: but keep this in mind, that no man is to make it hard for his brother, or give him cause for doubting.

¹⁴I am conscious of this, and am certain in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean in itself; but for the man in whose opinion it is unclean, for him it is unclean.

¹⁵And if because of food your brother is troubled, then you are no longer going on in the way of love. Do not let your food be destruction to him for whom Christ went into death.

¹⁶Let it not be possible for men to say evil about your good:

¹⁷For the kingdom of God is not food and drink, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
