Romans 14:17 in Context — Romans 14

15 Empero si por causa de la comida tu hermano es contristado, ya no andas conforme á la caridad. No arruines con tu comida á aquél por el cual Cristo murió.

16 No sea pues blasfemado vuestro bien:

17 Que el reino de Dios no es comida ni bebida, sino justicia y paz y gozo por el Espíritu Santo.

18 Porque el que en esto sirve á Cristo, agrada á Dios, y es acepto á los hombres.

19 Así que, sigamos lo que hace á la paz, y á la edificación de los unos á los otros.
