17 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
ου γαρ εστιν η βασιλεια του θεου βρωσις και ποσις αλλα δικαιοσυνη και ειρηνη και χαρα εν πνευματι αγιω
18 For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men.
ο γαρ εν τουτοις δουλευων τω χριστω ευαρεστος τω θεω και δοκιμος τοις ανθρωποις
19 Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.
αρα ουν τα της ειρηνης διωκωμεν και τα της οικοδομης της εις αλληλους
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.
μη ενεκεν βρωματος καταλυε το εργον του θεου παντα μεν καθαρα αλλα κακον τω ανθρωπω τω δια προσκομματος εσθιοντι
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.
καλον το μη φαγειν κρεα μηδε πιειν οινον μηδε εν ω ο αδελφος σου προσκοπτει η σκανδαλιζεται η ασθενει
22 Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.
συ πιστιν εχεις κατα σαυτον εχε ενωπιον του θεου μακαριος ο μη κρινων εαυτον εν ω δοκιμαζει
23 And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.
ο δε διακρινομενος εαν φαγη κατακεκριται οτι ουκ εκ πιστεως παν δε ο ουκ εκ πιστεως αμαρτια εστιν
Romans 15
1 We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
οφειλομεν δε ημεις οι δυνατοι τα ασθενηματα των αδυνατων βασταζειν και μη εαυτοις αρεσκειν
2 Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification.
εκαστος γαρ ημων τω πλησιον αρεσκετω εις το αγαθον προς οικοδομην
3 For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me.
και γαρ ο χριστος ουχ εαυτω ηρεσεν αλλα καθως γεγραπται οι ονειδισμοι των ονειδιζοντων σε επεπεσον επ εμε
