Romans 14:19............
"Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another."
This is a 2 fold exhortation. To "follow after the things which make for peace" = is to eagerly pursue a course of action. Believers are to make a definite effort to avoid the use of food or any ohysical thing which offends another Christian. This would be the negative aspect of the exhortation.
The positive is to press forward the mark of spiritual values:
1. Righteousness
2. Peace
3. Joy in the Holy Spirit.
