Therefore let us not ^(u)judge one another anymore, but rather determine this—^(v)not to put an obstacle or a stumbling block in a brother's way.

I know and am convinced ^[f]in the Lord Jesus that ^(w)nothing is unclean in itself; but to him who ^(x)thinks anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.

For if because of food your brother is hurt, you are no longer ^(y)walking according to love. ^(z)Do not destroy with your food him for whom Christ died.

Therefore ^(aa)do not let what is for you a good thing be ^[g]spoken of as evil;

for the kingdom of God ^(ab)is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and ^(ac)peace and ^(ad)joy in the Holy Spirit.

For he who in this way ^(ae)serves Christ is ^(af)acceptable to God and approved by men.

So then ^[h]we ^(ag)pursue the things which make for peace and the ^(ah)building up of one another.

^(ai)Do not tear down the work of God for the sake of food. ^(aj)All things indeed are clean, but ^(ak)they are evil for the man who eats ^[i]and gives offense.

^(al)It is good not to eat meat or to drink wine, or to do anything by which your brother stumbles.

The faith which you have, have ^[j]as your own conviction before God. Happy is he who ^(am)does not condemn himself in what he approves.

But ^(an)he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because his eating is not from faith; and whatever is not from faith is sin.
