17For the kingdom of God is not food and drink, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
18And he who in these things is Christ's servant, is pleasing to God and has the approval of men.
19So then, let us go after the things which make peace, and the things by which we may be a help to one another.
20Do not let the work of God come to nothing on account of food. All things are certainly clean; but it is evil for that man who by taking food makes it hard for another.
21It is better not to take meat or wine or to do anything which might be a cause of trouble to your brother.
22The faith which you have, have it to yourself before God. Happy is the man who is not judged by that to which he gives approval.
23But he who is in doubt is judged if he takes food, because he does it not in faith; and whatever is not of faith is sin.
