For if your brother is grieved because of your food, you are not now walking according to love. Do not allow your food to destroy him for whom Christ died.
Therefore, what is good for us should not be a cause of blasphemy.
For the kingdom of God is not food and drink, but rather justice and peace and joy, in the Holy Spirit.
For he who serves Christ in this, pleases God and is proven before men.
And so, let us pursue the things that are of peace, and let us keep to the things that are for the edification of one another.
Do not be willing to destroy the work of God because of food. Certainly, all things are clean. But there is harm for a man who offends by eating.
It is good to refrain from eating meat and from drinking wine, and from anything by which your brother is offended, or led astray, or weakened.
