Strongs On/Off
Context
14:15 For if your brother or sister is distressed because of what you eat , you are no longer walking in love . Do not destroy by your food someone for whom Christ died .
14:16 Therefore do not let what you consider good be spoken of as evil .
14:17 For the kingdom of God does not consist of food and drink , but righteousness , peace , and joy in the Holy Spirit .
14:18 For the one who serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and approved by people .
14:19 So then , let us pursue what makes for peace and for building up one another .
14:20 Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food . For although all things are clean , it is wrong to cause anyone to stumble by what you eat .
14:21 It is good not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything that causes your brother to stumble .
14:22 The faith you have , keep to yourself before God . Blessed is the one who does not judge himself by what he approves .
14:23 But the man who doubts is condemned if he eats , because he does not do so from faith , and whatever is not from faith is sin .
