Romans 14:11-18

¹¹For it is written, I live, saith the Lord, for to me each knee shall be bowed, and each tongue shall acknowledge to God.

¹²Therefore each of us shall yield reason to God for himself.

¹³Therefore no more deem we each other; but more deem ye this thing, that ye put not hurting, or cause of stumbling, to a brother.

¹⁴I know and trust in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean by him, no but to him that deemeth anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.

¹⁵And if thy brother be made sorry, or heavy, in conscience for meat, now thou walkest not after charity. Do not thou through thy meat lose him, for whom Christ died.

¹⁶Therefore be not your good thing blasphemed or despised.

¹⁷For why the realm of God is not meat and drink, but rightwiseness and peace and joy in the Holy Ghost.

¹⁸And he that in this thing serveth Christ, pleaseth God, and is proved to men.
