Romans 14:23

Romans 14:23

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 15:1 >>

Romans 14:23 He that doubteth is condemned if he eateth. He is contrasted with him "who has faith" (Romans 14:22). He has not faith, or does not believe that it is right to eat these meats. Hence he is "condemned" ("damned") by his own conscience. Whatsoever [is] not from faith is sin. The context shows that Paul means that whenever actions are done by a Christian which he does not believe are right, he sins in doing them. If he is doubtful whether they are right, he must not do them.
