Romans 14:14-17

Context
14:14 I know and am convinced in the Lord Jesus that there is nothing unclean in itself; still, it is unclean to the one who considers it unclean. 14:15 For if your brother or sister 1  is distressed because of what you eat, 2  you are no longer walking in love. 3  Do not destroy by your food someone for whom Christ died. 14:16 Therefore do not let what you consider good 4  be spoken of as evil. 14:17 For the kingdom of God does not consist of food and drink, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.

Romans 14:21

Context
14:21 It is good not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything that causes your brother to stumble. 5 

1 tn Grk “brother.”

2 tn Grk “on account of food.”

3 tn Grk “according to love.”

4 tn Grk “do not let your good.”

5 tc A large number of mss, some of them quite important (Ì46vid א2 B D F G Ψ 0209 33 1881 Ï lat sa), read “or to be offended or to be made weak” after “to stumble.” The shorter reading “to stumble” is found only in Alexandrian mss (א* A C 048 81 945 1506 1739 pc bo). Although external evidence favors inclusion, internal evidence points to a scribal expansion, perhaps reminiscent of 1 Cor 8:11-13. The shorter reading is therefore preferred.
