    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.

    7However, not everyone knows this. Some, being accustomed to idols until now, eat it as if it were truly food offered to an idol, and their weak conscience is defiled.

    9But be careful that this right of yours does not somehow become a stumbling block to those who are weak.

    10For if someone sees you, who have knowledge, eating in an idol's temple, won’t their weak conscience be emboldened to eat food sacrificed to idols?
