Context: Romans 14
20For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.
21It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.
22Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.
23And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.

Commentary
Romans 14 is a chapter that speaks to the importance of unity within the church. Paul begins by reminding the church that each person is responsible for their own actions and that they should not judge one another. He then goes on to explain that each person should be fully convinced in their own mind and that they should not be swayed by the opinions of others. He also encourages the church to accept one another and not to pass judgment on those who have different beliefs.
