    16Let not then your good be evil spoken of:

    17for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

    18For he that herein serveth Christ is well-pleasing to God, and approved of men.

    19So then let us follow after things which make for peace, and things whereby we may edify one another.

    21It is good not to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor [to do anything] whereby thy brother stumbleth.

    22The faith which thou hast, have thou to thyself before God. Happy is he that judgeth not himself in that which he approveth.

    23But he that doubteth is condemned if he eat, because [he eateth] not of faith; and whatsoever is not of faith is sin.

    7Howbeit there is not in all men that knowledge: but some, being used until now to the idol, eat as [of] a thing sacrificed to an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled.

    8But food will not commend us to God: neither, if we eat not, are we the worse; nor, if we eat, are we the better.

    9But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to the weak.

    10For if a man see thee who hast knowledge sitting at meat in an idol's temple, will not his conscience, if he is weak, be emboldened to eat things sacrificed to idols?

    11For through thy knowledge he that is weak perisheth, the brother for whose sake Christ died.

    12And thus, sinning against the brethren, and wounding their conscience when it is weak, ye sin against Christ.

    13Wherefore, if meat causeth my brother to stumble, I will eat no flesh for evermore, that I cause not my brother to stumble.

    4Who art thou that judgest the servant of another? to his own lord he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be made to stand; for the Lord hath power to make him stand.

    5One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day [alike] . Let each man be fully assured in his own mind.
