    1Welcome anyone who is weak in faith, but do not engage in disputes over opinions.

    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.

    25Eat anything sold in the meat market without raising questions of conscience.

    26For the earth is the Lord's, and everything in it.

    27If an unbeliever invites you to a meal and you want to go, eat whatever is placed before you without raising questions of conscience.

    28But if someone says to you, 'This has been offered in sacrifice,' then do not eat it, for the sake of the one who told you and for the sake of conscience.

    29I do not mean your own conscience, but that of the other person's. For why is my freedom judged by another’s conscience?

    30If I partake with thankfulness, why am I denounced because of what I give thanks for?

    12So then, each of us will give an account of ourselves 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.
