Do not eat any of these creatures. It does not matter whether they move on their bellies. It does not matter whether they walk on all fours or on many feet. It is“ unclean.”Do not make yourselves“ unclean” by eating any of these animals. Do not make yourselves“ unclean” because of them. Do not let them make you“ unclean.”I am the Lord your God. Set yourselves apart. Be holy, because I am holy. Do not make yourselves“ unclean” by eating any creatures that move around on the ground.I am the Lord. I brought you up out of Egypt to be your God. So be holy, because I am holy.“‘ These are the rules about animals and birds. These are the rules about every living thing that moves around in the water. And these are the rules about every creature that moves along the ground.You must be able to tell the difference between what is“ clean” and what is not. You must also be able to tell the difference between living creatures that can be eaten and those that can’t.’ ”

Above everything else, guard your heart. Everything you do comes from it.

To people who are pure, all things are pure. But to those who have twisted minds and don’t believe, nothing is pure. In fact, their minds and their sense of what is right and wrong are twisted.

He said to them,“ You know that it is against our law for a Jew to enter a Gentile home. A Jew shouldn’t have any close contact with a Gentile. But God has shown me that I should not say anyone is not pure and‘ clean.’

God’s kingdom is not about eating or drinking. It is about doing what is right and having peace and joy. All this comes through the Holy Spirit.

“ Don’t you understand yet?” Jesus asked them.

“ No, Lord! I will not!” Peter replied.“ I have never eaten anything that is not pure and‘ clean.’ ”The voice spoke to him a second time. It said,“ Do not say anything is not pure that God has made‘ clean.’ ”This happened three times. Right away the sheet was taken back up to heaven.

They deal only with food and drink and different kinds of special washings. They are rules people had to obey only until the new covenant came.

Here is what we should write to them. They must not eat food that has been made impure by being offered to statues of gods. They must not commit sexual sins. They must not eat the meat of animals that have been choked to death. And they must not drink blood.These laws of Moses have been preached in every city from the earliest times. They are read out loud in the synagogues every Sabbath day.”

“ I replied,‘ No, Lord! I will not! Nothing that is not pure and“ clean” has ever entered my mouth.’“ A second time the voice spoke from heaven. The voice said,‘ Do not say anything is not pure that God has made“ clean.” ’This happened three times. Then the sheet was pulled up into heaven.

You nest of poisonous snakes! How can you who are evil say anything good? Your mouths say everything that is in your hearts.

Don’t let all kinds of strange teachings lead you astray. It is good that God’s grace makes our hearts strong. Don’t try to grow strong by eating foods that the law requires. They have no value for the people who eat them.

They do not allow people to get married. They order them not to eat certain foods. But God created those foods. So people who believe and know the truth should receive them and give thanks for them.Everything God created is good. You shouldn’t turn anything down. Instead, you should thank God for it.The word of God and prayer make it holy.

“ Don’t you understand?” Jesus asked.“ Don’t you see? Nothing that enters a person from the outside can make them‘ unclean.’It doesn’t go into their heart. It goes into their stomach. Then it goes out of the body.” In saying this, Jesus was calling all foods“ clean.”He went on to say,“ What comes out of a person is what makes them‘ unclean.’Evil thoughts come from the inside, from a person’s heart. So do sexual sins, stealing and murder.Adultery, greed, hate and cheating come from a person’s heart too. So do desires that are not pure, and wanting what belongs to others. And so do telling lies about others and being proud and being foolish.All these evil things come from inside a person and make them‘ unclean.’ ”

Eat anything sold in the meat market. Don’t ask if it’s right or wrong.
