    16Let not, then, your good be evil spoken of,

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

    18for he who in these things is serving the Christ, `is' acceptable to God and approved of men.

    19So, then, the things of peace may we pursue, and the things of building up one another;

    20for the sake of victuals cast not down the work of God; all things, indeed, `are' pure, but evil `is' to the man who is eating through stumbling.

    21Right `it is' not to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor to `do anything' in which thy brother doth stumble, or is made to fall, or is weak.

    22Thou hast faith! to thyself have `it' before God; happy is he who is not judging himself in what he doth approve,

    23and he who is making a difference, if he may eat, hath been condemned, because `it is' not of faith; and all that `is' not of faith is sin.

    7but not in all men `is' the knowledge, and certain with conscience of the idol, till now, as a thing sacrificed to an idol do eat `it', and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.

    8But victuals do not commend us to God, for neither if we may eat are we in advance; nor if we may not eat, are we behind;

    9but see, lest this privilege of yours may become a stumbling-block to the infirm,

    10for if any one may see thee that hast knowledge in an idol's temple reclining at meat -- shall not his conscience -- he being infirm -- be emboldened to eat the things sacrificed to idols,

    11and the brother who is infirm shall perish by thy knowledge, because of whom Christ died?

    12and thus sinning in regard to the brethren, and smiting their weak conscience -- in regard to Christ ye sin;

    13wherefore, if victuals cause my brother to stumble, I may eat no flesh -- to the age -- that my brother I may not cause to stumble.

    3let not him who is eating despise him who is not eating: and let not him who is not eating judge him who is eating, for God did receive him.

    4Thou -- who art thou that art judging another's domestic? to his own master he doth stand or fall; and he shall be made to stand, for God is able to make him stand.

    5One doth judge one day above another, and another doth judge every day `alike'; let each in his own mind be fully assured.

    6He who is regarding the day, to the Lord he doth regard `it', and he who is not regarding the day, to the Lord he doth not regard `it'. He who is eating, to the Lord he doth eat, for he doth give thanks to God; and he who is not eating, to the Lord he doth not eat, and doth give thanks to God.
