18 Pois quem nessas coisas serve a Cristo é agradável a Deus e aprovado pelas pessoas.

19 Sigamos, pois, as coisas que [resultam em] paz e edificação de uns aos outros.

20 Não destruas a obra de Deus por causa da comida. É verdade que todas as coisas são limpas, porém mau é ao ser humano comer causando ofensa.

21 Não é bom comer carne, nem beber vinho, nem [qualquer coisa] que faça o teu irmão tropeçar, ou se ofender, ou enfraquecer.

22 A convicção que tu tens, tenha-a para ti mesmo diante de Deus. Feliz é quem não se culpa naquilo que aprova.
