Rom 15:14. "I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself; but to him that esteemeth anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean."--17. "For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost." Rom 3:20. "_By the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified_ in his, God's sight; for by the law is the knowledge of sin." Rom. 3:27, 28, 29, 30, 31. "Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay; but by the law of the faith.-- Therefore, we conclude, that _a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law_.--Is _he_ the God of the Jews only? is _he_ not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:-- Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.--_Do we then make void_ _the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law._" Rom. 10:9. "... if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.[60]--12. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.--For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."[61] Rom 14:2. "... one believeth that he may eat all things: another who is weak, eateth herbs.--Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth; for God hath received him.--_One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike._[62]" 1 Cor. 6:12. "_All things are lawful unto me_, but all things are not expedient:" or _profitable_ margin, "all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.--_Meats for the belly_, and _the belly for meats_; but God shall destroy both it and them." 1 Cor. 8:8. "But _meat commendeth us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither if we eat not, are we the worse_.--Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend."
