Romans 14:17

“for the Kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.”

Verse in context — Romans 14

Yet if because of food your brother is grieved, you walk no longer in love. Don't destroy with your food him for whom Christ died.

Then don't let your good be slandered,

for the Kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.

For he who serves Christ in these things is acceptable to God and approved by men.

So then, let us follow after things which make for peace, and things by which we may build one another up.

A deep explanation of salvation by grace through faith in Christ.
