11 For it is written:
a“As I live, says the Lord,
Every knee shall bow to Me,
And every tongue shall confess to God.”
a“As I live, says the Lord,
Every knee shall bow to Me,
And every tongue shall confess to God.”
12 So then aeach of us shall give account of himself to God.
13 Therefore let us not judge one another1 anymore, but rather resolve this, anot to put a stumbling block or a cause to fall in our brother’s way.
The Law of Love
14 I know and am convinced by the Lord Jesus athat there is nothing unclean of itself; but to him who considers anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
15 Yet if your brother is grieved because of your food, you are no longer walking in love. aDo not destroy with your food the one for whom Christ died.
16 aTherefore do not let your good be spoken of as evil;
17 afor the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and bpeace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
18 For he who serves Christ in1 these things ais acceptable to God and approved by men.
19 aTherefore let us pursue the things which make for peace and the things by which bone may edify another.
20 aDo not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. bAll things indeed are pure, cbut it is evil for the man who eats with1 offense.
21 It is good neither to eat ameat nor drink wine nor do anything by which your brother stumbles1 or is offended or is made weak.
22 1Do you have faith? Have it to yourself before God. aHappy is he who does not condemn himself in what he approves.
23 But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because he does not eat from faith; for awhatever is not from faith is sin.
