Romans 14:15-17
1599 Geneva Bible
15 But if thy brother be grieved for the meat, now walkest thou not charitably: (A)[a]destroy not him with thy meat, for whom [b]Christ died.
16 [c]Cause not your commodity to be evil spoken of.
17 [d]For the kingdom of God, is not meat nor drink, but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the holy Ghost.

- Romans 14:15 It is the part of a cruel mind to make more account of meat, than of our brother’s salvation. Which thing they do, that presume to eat with offense of any brother, and so give him occasion to go back from the Gospel.
- Romans 14:15 Another argument: We must follow Christ’s example: who was so far from destroying the weak with meat, that he gave his life for them.
- Romans 14:16 Another argument: for that by this means the liberty of the Gospel is evil spoken of, as though it openeth the way to attempt any thing whatsoever, and boldeneth us to all things.
- Romans 14:17 A general reason, and the ground of all the other arguments: The kingdom of heaven consisteth not in these outward things, but in the study of righteousness, and peace, and comfort of the holy Ghost.
