15
Yet if because of food your brother is grieved, you walk no longer in love. Don`t destroy with your food him for whom Christ died.
16
Then don`t let your good be slandered,
17
for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.
18
For he who serves Christ in these things is acceptable to God and approved by men.
19
So then, let us follow after things which make for peace, and things whereby we may build one another up.
20
Don`t overthrow God`s work for food`s sake. All things indeed are clean, however it is evil for that man who creates a stumbling block by eating.
21
It is good not to eat meat, drink wine nor do anything by which your brother stumbles, is offended, or is made weak.
