13Let 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.
14I 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.
15But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died.
16Let not then your good be evil spoken of:
17For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
18For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men.
19Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.
20For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.
21It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.
22Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.
23And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.
13Let vs not therefore iudge one another any more: but iudge this rather, that no man put a stumbling blocke, or an occasion to fall in his brothers way.
14I know, and am perswaded by the Lord Iesus, that there is nothing †vncleane of it selfe: but to him that esteemeth any thing to bee †vncleane, to him it is vncleane.
15But if thy brother be grieued with thy meate: now walkest thou not †charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died.
16Let not then your good be euill spoken of.
17For the kingdome of God is not meat and drinke; but righteousnes, and peace, and ioy in the holy Ghost.
18For hee that in these things serueth Christ, is acceptable to God, and approued of men.
19Let vs therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edifie an other.
20For meat, destroy not the worke of God: all *things indeed are pure; but it is euill for that man who eateth with offence.
21 It is good neither to eate *flesh, nor to drinke wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weake.
22Hast thou faith? haue it to thy selfe before God. Happie is he that condemneth not himselfe in that thing which hee alloweth.
23And hee that ‖doubteth, is damned if hee eate, because hee eateth not of faith: For whatsoeuer is not of faith, is sinne.

2For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.
3Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.
2For one beleeueth that he may eat all things: another who is weake, eateth herbes.
3Let not him that eateth, despise him that eateth not: and let not him which eateth not, iudge him that eateth. For God hath receiued him.
