Here is Romans 14:17 in the King James Version (KJV):
“For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.”
This verse highlights that the true essence of God’s kingdom is not about physical things like food and drink, but about spiritual qualities like:
- Righteousness (living in accordance with God’s will)
- Peace (inner harmony and tranquility)
- Joy (deep happiness and contentment) in the Holy Spirit
These spiritual qualities are the hallmarks of a life surrendered to God and lived in His presence. _Akachukwu
