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.
