Romans 14:21

Romans 14:21

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.

Romans 14:22 >>

Romans 14:21 [It is] good neither to eat flesh, etc. If eating any kind of food, or drinking wine, is the way of your brother's peace and security, it is better to abstain from both. Deny yourself rather than offend a brother. Compare I Corinthians 8:13. This maxim applies to all things indifferent. It applies to wine-drinking at our time. No Christian ought ever to set an example that may destroy another.
