Romans 14:15-23 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

15. For if, because of thy meat, thy brother be grieved, thou walkest not now according to charity. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died.

16. Let not then our good be evil spoken of.

17. For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but justice, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

18. For he that in this serveth Christ, pleaseth God, and is approved of men.

19. Therefore let us follow after the things that are of peace; and keep the things that are of edification one towards another.

20. Destroy not the work of God for meat. All things indeed are clean: but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.

21. It is good not to eat flesh, and not to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother is offended, or scandalized, or made weak.

22. Hast thou faith? Have it to thyself before God. Blessed is he that condemneth not himself in that which he alloweth.

23. But he that discerneth, if he eat, is condemned; because not of faith. For all that is not of faith is sin.
