Romans 14:22

Keep your belief about such matters between yourself and God. Blessed is the one who does not condemn himself by what he approves.

Majority Standard Bible

In The King James Version

Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.

In Context

23But the one who has doubts is condemned if he eats, because his eating is not from faith; and everything that is not from faith is sin.
