Romans 14:19

---

← Romans 14:18	Romans 14:19 (KJV)	Romans 14:20 →
For he that in these things serveth Christ [is] acceptable to God, and approved of men.	Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.	For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed [are] pure; but [it is] evil for that man who eateth with offence.
