Do Not Cause Another to Stumble (ROM 14:13-23)

[14:13] Therefore let us not pass judgment on one another any longer, but rather decide never to put a stumbling block or hindrance in the way of a brother.

[14:14] I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself, but it is unclean for anyone who thinks it unclean.

[14:15] For if your brother is grieved by what you eat, you are no longer walking in love. By what you eat, do not destroy the one for whom Christ died.

[14:16] So do not let what you regard as good be spoken of as evil.

[14:17] For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking but of righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

[14:18] Whoever thus serves Christ is acceptable to God and approved by men.

[14:19] So then let us pursue what makes for peace and for mutual upbuilding.

[14:20] Do not, for the sake of food, destroy the work of God. Everything is indeed clean, but it is wrong for anyone to make another stumble by what he eats.

[14:21] It is good not to eat meat or drink wine or do anything that causes your brother to stumble.

[14:22] The faith that you have, keep between yourself and God. Blessed is the one who has no reason to pass judgment on himself for what he approves.

[14:23] But whoever has doubts is condemned if he eats, because the eating is not from faith. For whatever does not proceed from faith is sin.
