Romans 14:16
Do not allow what you consider good, then, to be spoken of as evil.
BSB
ASV
Let not then your good be evil spoken of:
KJV
Let not then your good be evil spoken of:
Let not then your good be evil spoken of - Do not make such a use of your Christian liberty as to subject the Gospel itself to reproach. Whatsoever you do, do it in such a manner, spirit, and time, as to make it productive of the greatest possible good. There are many who have such an unhappy method of doing their good acts, as not only to do little or no good by them, but a great deal of evil. It requires much prudence and watchfulness to find out the proper time of performing even a good action.
