Romans 14:20-23
King James Version
20 For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.
21 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.
22 Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.
23 And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.

Romans 14:20-23
New King James Version
20 (A)Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. (B)All things indeed are pure, (C)but it is evil for the man who eats with [a]offense. 21 It is good neither to eat (D)meat nor drink wine nor do anything by which your brother stumbles [b]or is offended or is made weak. 22 [c]Do you have faith? Have it to yourself before God. (E)Happy is he who does not condemn himself in what he approves. 23 But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because he does not eat from faith; for (F)whatever is not from faith is [d]sin.
