Romans 14:17

¹⁵ If your brother is distressed by what you eat, you are no longer acting in love. Do not by your eating destroy your brother, for whom Christ died.

¹⁶ Do not allow what you consider good, then, to be spoken of as evil.

For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.

¹⁸ For whoever serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and approved by men.

¹⁹ So then, let us pursue what leads to peace and to mutual edification.
