² For one believes he ^(A)may eat all things, but he who is weak eats only vegetables.

⁴ For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be refused if it is received with thanksgiving;

^22 [a]Do you have faith? Have it to yourself before God. ^(A)Happy is he who does not condemn himself in what he approves. ²³ But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because he does not eat from faith; for ^(B)whatever is not from faith is ^[b]sin.

The Law of Love

¹⁴ I know and am convinced by the Lord Jesus ^(A)that there is nothing unclean of itself; but to him who considers anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.

⁹ Do not be carried ^[a]about with various and strange doctrines. For it is good that the heart be established by grace, not with foods which have not profited those who have been occupied with them.

¹² for before certain men came from James, ^(A)he would eat with the Gentiles; but when they came, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing ^[a]those who were of the circumcision.

^3 (A)Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. I have given you ^(B)all things, even as the ^(C)green herbs.

¹⁰ concerned only with ^(A)foods and drinks, ^(B)various ^[a]washings, ^(C)and fleshly ordinances imposed until the time of reformation.

^15 (A)To the pure all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but even their mind and conscience are defiled.
