For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. — Basileia tou Theou (kingdom of God) consists of dikaiosynē (justice, right-relationship with God), eirēnē (peace, wholeness), and chara (joy, exultation) en pneumati hagiō (in the Holy Spirit). Food observance is peripheral; the Spirit's fruit is central. Dietary disputes are ontologically beneath the kingdom's reality.
