Romans 14:15-21 If your brother is continually pained because of your food, you are not conducting yourself any longer in love. Do not, by what you eat, persist in destroying a man for whom Christ died.

MNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ If your brother is continually pained because of your food, you are not conducting yourself any longer in love. Do not, by what you eat, persist in destroying a man for whom Christ died. ¹⁶ Therefore do not let what is right, so far as you are concerned, be evil spoken of. 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. ¹⁸ Those who are slaving for Christ devotedly in these ways, are well pleasing to God and highly commended by man. ¹⁹ So then let is eagerly pursue the things that make for peace and the upbuilding of each other. ²⁰ Do not, for the sake of food, be tearing down God's work. All food indeed is ceremonially clean, but a man is in the wrong if his food proves a stumbling-block. ²¹ The right course is not to eat meat, nor to drink wine, nor to do anything through which your brother is made to stumble.
