12 Every one of us, then, will have to give an account to God.
13 So then, let us stop judging one another. Instead, you should decide never to do anything that would make others stumble or fall into sin.
14 My union with the Lord Jesus makes me certain that no food is of itself ritually unclean; but if you believe that some food is unclean, then it becomes unclean for you.
15 If you hurt others because of something you eat, then you are no longer acting from love. Do not let the food that you eat ruin the person for whom Christ died!
16 Do not let what you regard as good get a bad name.
17 For God's Kingdom is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of the righteousness, peace, and joy which the Holy Spirit gives.
18 And when you serve Christ in this way, you please God and are approved by others.
