Son cleanses us from all sin.

and yet has many members, and all
the members of the body, though
they are many, are one body, so also

were all baptized into one body,
whether Jews or Greeks, whether
slaves or free, and we were all
made to drink of one Spirit.

not eat is not to judge the one who
eats, for God has accepted him.

18. 1 Corinthians 7:25-26
[25] Now concerning virgins I have
no command of the Lord, but I give

view of the present distress, that it
is good for a man to remain as he is.

19. Romans 14
[22] The faith which you have, have
as your own conviction before God.
Happy is he who does not condemn

condemned if he eats, because his
eating is not from faith; and
whatever is not from faith is sin.

20. Romans 15:1-2

solid food; for you were not yet
able to receive it. Indeed, even
now you are not yet able,
[3] for you are still fleshly. …

[12] For though by this time you
ought to be teachers, you have need
again for someone to teach you the
elementary principles of the oracles
of God, and you have come to need
milk and not solid food.

24. Hebrews 5:12-14
[13] For everyone who partakes

the word of righteousness, for he
is an infant. [14] But solid food is
for the mature, who because of
practice have their senses trained
to discern good and evil.

over to Satan, so that they will be
taught not to blaspheme.

[16] But avoid worldly and empty
chatter, for it will lead to further
ungodliness, [17] and their talk will

that the resurrection has already taken
place, and they upset the faith of some.
