Romans 14:19-23

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹⁹ Let us then pursue what makes for peace and for mutual upbuilding.^{(A) 20} Do not, for the sake of food, destroy the work of God. Everything is indeed clean, but it is wrong to make someone stumble by what you eat; ²¹ it is good not to eat meat or drink wine or do anything that makes your brother or sister stumble.^{[a](B) 22} Hold the conviction that you have as your own before God. Blessed are those who do not condemn themselves because of what they approve. ²³ But those who have doubts are condemned if they eat because they do not act from faith,^[b] for whatever does not proceed from faith^[c] is sin.^[d]
