Romans 14:15-21 But now if you have caused your brother to grieve on account of meat, then you are not living in harmony. Do not make food a cause to destroy a man for whose sake Christ died.

Lamsa⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ But now if you have caused your brother to grieve on account of meat, then you are not living in harmony. Do not make food a cause to destroy a man for whose sake Christ died. ¹⁶ Let not our blessings be a reproach to any one: ¹⁷ For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. ¹⁸ For he who serves Christ in these things is acceptable to God and is approved by men. ¹⁹ Now let us strive after peace, and help one another. ²⁰ And let us not, because of food, destroy the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is wrong for the man who eats with offence. ²¹ It is better that we neither eat meat nor drink wine nor do any other thing whereby we cause our brother to stumble.
