Romans 14:20 in Context — Romans 14

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.

20 No destruyas la obra de Dios por causa de la comida. Todas las cosas á la verdad son limpias: mas malo es al hombre que come con escándalo.

21 Bueno es no comer carne, ni beber vino, ni [nada] en que tu hermano tropiece, ó se ofenda, ó sea debilitado.

22 ¿Tienes tú fe? Tenla para contigo delante de Dios. Bienaventurado el que no se condena á sí mismo con lo que aprueba.
