    12So then each of us shall give account of himself to God.

    13Let us not therefore judge one another anymore, but judge this instead: that no one puts a stumbling block or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.

    14I know and am convinced by the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself; but to him who considers anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.

    15But if your brother is grieved with your food, you are no longer walking in love. Do not destroy with your food the one for whom Christ died.

    16Therefore do not let your good be spoken of as evil.

    17For the kingdom of God is not food and drink, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

    18For anyone who serves Christ in these things is acceptable to God and approved by men.

    19Therefore let us pursue the things that lead to peace and the building up of one another.

    20Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. All things indeed are pure, but it is evil for the man who eats with offense.

    21It is good neither to eat meat nor drink wine nor do anything by which your brother stumbles or is offended or is made weak.

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

    23But whoever doubts is condemned if he eats, because he does not eat from faith; for whatever is not from faith is sin.
