¹⁹ Therefore let us follow after the things that are of peace; and keep the things that are of edification one towards another.

²⁰ Destroy not the work of God for meat. All things indeed are clean: but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.

²¹ It is good not to eat flesh, and not to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother is offended, or scandalized, or made weak.

²² Hast thou faith? Have it to thyself before God. Blessed is he that condemneth not himself in that which he alloweth.

²³ But he that discerneth, if he eat, is condemned; because not of faith. For all that is not of faith is sin.

²⁵ Now to him that is able to establish you, according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret from eternity,

²⁶ (Which now is made manifest by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the precept of the eternal God, for the obedience of faith,) known among all nations;

²⁷ To God the only wise, through Jesus Christ, to whom be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.
