Romans 14:17-21
English Standard Version
17 (A)For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking but (B)of righteousness and (C)peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. 18 Whoever thus serves Christ is (D)acceptable to God and approved by men. 19 So then let us (E)pursue what makes for peace and for (F)mutual upbuilding.
20 (G)Do not, for the sake of food, destroy the work of God. (H)Everything is indeed clean, but (I)it is wrong for anyone to make another stumble by what he eats. 21 (J)It is good not to eat meat or drink wine or do anything that causes your brother to stumble.[a]
