Romans 14:19

PeaceFellowship and the churchConflict and reconciliation

17 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.

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

20 Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. All food is clean, but it is wrong for a man to let his eating be a stumbling block.

21 It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything to cause your brother to stumble.
