22 You may believe there’s nothing wrong with what you are doing, but keep it between yourself and God. Blessed are those who don’t feel guilty for doing something they have decided is right. 23 But if you have doubts about whether or not you should eat something, you are sinning if you go ahead and do it. For you are not following your convictions. If you do anything you believe is not right, you are sinning.

Anything that is done without believing it is right is a sin.

22 So whatever you believe about these things, keep it between yourself and God. The person who does what he knows is right shouldn’t feel guilty.
