[2.3] Be moderate in eating and drinking; that is good for the spirit, the soul, and the body and is agreeable to the Lord;

[2.4] But when someone says, teaches, and desires: “This and that particular food should not be eaten, because according to Moses it is unclean.”

[2.5] Then I say in opposition to that: Moses and the prophets are fulfilled and redeemed in Christ; the Lord did not forbid us any food; He Himself ate and drank with sinners and publicans.

[2.6] And He exclaimed: “What you eat does not defile you; but what comes out of your heart such as gossip, evil desires, miserliness, envy, manslaughter, rage, gluttony, voracity, fornication, adultery, and the like — that is what at all times defiles human beings.”
