Romans 14:16 Context
14I know, and am perswaded by the Lord Iesus, that there is nothing vncleane of it selfe: but to him that esteemeth any thing to bee vncleane, to him it is vncleane. 15But if thy brother be grieued with thy meate: now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died. 16Let not then your good be euill spoken of. 17For the kingdome of God is not meat and drinke; but righteousnes, and peace, and ioy in the holy Ghost. 18For hee that in these things serueth Christ, is acceptable to God, and approued of men.

People's Bible Notes for Romans 14:16
Ro 14:16 Let not then your good be evil spoken of. You have greater knowledge than these weak brethren, and know that "nothing is unclean" (Ro 14:14). That is "good". But if you sternly insist on your right to do what the weak regard as sinful, your "good" will be evil spoken of.
