    2One person believes they may eat anything, while someone who is weak eats only vegetables.

    3The one who eats must not look down on the one who does not eat, and the one who does not eat must not judge the one who eats, for God has accepted them.

    4Who are you to judge someone else's servant? To their own Master they stand or fall. And they will stand, for the Lord is able to make them stand.

    5One person considers one day more important than another, while another considers every day alike. Each person should be fully convinced in their own mind.

    6Whoever regards one day as special does so to the Lord. Whoever eats does so to the Lord, for they give thanks to God; and whoever abstains does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God.

    13Therefore, let us stop judging one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in the way of a brother or sister.

    14I am convinced, being fully persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean in itself. But if anyone regards something as unclean, then for that person it is unclean.

    15If your brother or sister is distressed because of what you eat, you are no longer acting in love. Do not by your eating destroy someone for whom Christ died.

    16Therefore, do not let what you know is good be spoken of as evil.

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

    18For anyone who serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and approved by people.

    19So then, let us pursue what promotes peace and what builds up one another.

    20Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. All things are indeed clean, but it is wrong for a person to eat anything that causes someone else to stumble.

    21It is good not to eat meat or drink wine or do anything that causes your brother or sister to stumble, to be offended, or to be weakened.

    22Do you have faith? Keep it to yourself before God. Blessed is the one who does not condemn himself by what he approves.

    23But whoever doubts and eats is condemned if they do so, because their actions are not from faith; and everything that does not come from faith is sin.

    12When you sin in this way against your brothers and sisters and wound their weak consciences, you are sinning against Christ.

    13Therefore, if food causes my brother to stumble, I will never eat meat again so that I will not cause my brother to stumble.
