15 But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died. |
16 Let not then your good be evil spoken of: |
17 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. |
18 For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men. |
19 Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another. |
20 For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence. |
21 It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak. |
22 Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth. |
23 And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin. |
