Romans 14:14-20

¹⁴I know and have been convinced by Sovereign Jesus that nothing is unclean of itself (still, to someone who considers a thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean),

¹⁵but if your brother is offended because of food, you are no longer walking according to love. Do not, with your food, ruin someone for whom Christ died.

¹⁶So do not let your good be slandered;

¹⁷because the Kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in Holy Spirit.

¹⁸For whoever serves the Christ in these things is satisfying to God and approved by men.

¹⁹So then, let us pursue the things that promote peace and the things by which one may edify another.

²⁰Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. All things indeed are ‘clean’; however it is wrong for the man who gives offence by eating.
