Romans 14:14-16
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
(14 I know[a] and am convinced in the Lord Jesus that nothing[b] is defiled[c] in itself [d], except to the one considering anything to be defiled— to that[e] one it is defiled). 15 For if your brother is grieved[f] because of food, you are no longer walking according-to love. Do not be destroying with[g] your food that one for whom Christ died. 16 Therefore do not be letting your good thing be blasphemed[h].
