Romans 14:14-18
Context14:14 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. 14:18 For the one who serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and approved by people. 5
