NIV
But the man who has doubts (misgivings, an uneasy conscience) about eating, and then eats [perhaps because of you], stands condemned [before God], because he is not true to his convictions and he does not act from faith.

AMP
And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.

So whatever you believe about these things keep between yourself and God. Blessed are those who do not condemn themselves by what they approve.
NIV
Your personal convictions [on such matters]--exercise [them] as in God's presence, keeping them to yourself [striving only to know the truth and obey His will]. Blessed (happy, to be envied) is he who has no reason to judge himself for what he approves [who does not convict himself by what he chooses to do].
AMP
Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.
KJV
