Romans 14:22

Do yoʋ have a firm belief about these things? Have it privately before God. Blessed is he who does not condemn himself by what he approves.

Text-Critical English NT

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

21It is good not to eat meat or drink wine or do anything by which yoʋr brother stumbles or is offended or made weak.

23But whoever doubts is condemned if he eats, because his action is not based on faith; and anything that is not based on faith is sin.
