Therefore let's not judge one another anymore, but rather determine this: not to put an obstacle or a stumbling block in a brother's or sister's way.

Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.

I know and am convinced in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself; but to the one who thinks something is unclean, to that person it is unclean.

I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.

For if because of food your brother or sister is hurt, you are no longer walking in accordance with love. Do not destroy with your choice of food that person for whom Christ died.

But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died.

Therefore do not let what is for you a good thing be spoken of as evil;

Let not then your good be evil spoken of:

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

For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

For the one who serves Christ in this way is acceptable to God and approved by other people.

For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men.

So then we pursue the things which make for peace and the building up of one another.

Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.

Do not tear down the work of God for the sake of food. All things indeed are clean, but they are evil for the person who eats and causes offense.

For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.

It is good not to eat meat or to drink wine, or to do anything by which your brother or sister stumbles.

It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.
