Romans 14 — Context

13

Therefore let's not judge one another any more, but judge this rather, that no man put a stumbling block in his brother's way, or an occasion for falling.

14

I know, and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean of itself; except that to him who considers anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.

15

Yet if because of food your brother is grieved, you walk no longer in love. Don't destroy with your food him for whom Christ died.

16

Then don't let your good be slandered,

17

for the Kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.

18

For he who serves Christ in these things is acceptable to God and approved by men.

19

So then, let us follow after things which make for peace, and things by which we may build one another up.
