New International Reader's Version

Romans 14:16-19 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

16. Don't let something you consider good be spoken of as if it were evil.

17. God's kingdom has nothing to do with eating or drinking. It is a matter of being right with God. It brings the peace and joy the Holy Spirit gives.

18. Those who serve Christ in this way are pleasing to God. They are pleasing to people too.

19. So let us do all we can to live in peace. And let us work hard to build each other up.
