Romans 14:21
| ← Romans 14:20 | Romans 14:21 (KJV) | Romans 14:22 → |
|---|---|---|
For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed [are] pure; but [it is] evil for that man who eateth with offence.
|
[It is] good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor [any thing] whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.
|
Hast thou faith? have [it] to thyself before God. Happy [is] he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.
