19. And so, let us pursue the things that are of peace, and let us keep to the things that are for the edification of one another.
20. Do not be willing to destroy the work of God because of food. Certainly, all things are clean. But there is harm for a man who offends by eating.
21. It is good to refrain from eating meat and from drinking wine, and from anything by which your brother is offended, or led astray, or weakened.
22. Do you have faith? It belongs to you, so hold it before God. Blessed is he who does not judge himself in that by which he is tested.
23. But he who discerns, if he eats, is condemned, because it is not of faith. For all that is not of faith is sin.
