Romans 14:22
Verse 22 of 23. The 14th of 16 chapters in Romans, in The Letters of Paul.

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.
