¹⁹ Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace^(A) and to mutual edification.^{(B) 20} Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food.^(C) All food is clean,^(D) but it is wrong for a person to eat anything that causes someone else to stumble.^{(E) 21} It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything else that will cause your brother or sister to fall.^(F)

²² So whatever you believe about these things keep between yourself and God. Blessed is the one who does not condemn^(G) himself by what he approves. ²³ But whoever has doubts^(H) is condemned if they eat, because their eating is not from faith; and everything that does not come from faith is sin.^[a]

¹¹ Therefore encourage one another^(A) and build each other up,^(B) just as in fact you are doing.
