Stihovi vezani uz Daniel, 1:

Daniel 1 narrates the story of four young Hebrews who were taken captive to Babylon and were instructed to eat from the king's food and wine, but refused because of their religious beliefs. They asked to eat only vegetables and water, and God blessed them, making them healthier and stronger than other captives. Following are five verses related to the themes of this chapter:

1 Corinthians 10:31: "Therefore, whether you eat, or do anything else, do everything to the glory of God." This verse talks about the importance of living a life that honors God in all areas, including what we eat.

Proverbs 23:6-8: "Do not eat the keen food, nor want your delicacies, for it is like someone who thinks to yourself: 'Eat and Drink', but you are not heart with you. You will vomit the delicacy that ate and will lose his lovely words. " This verse warns against greed and excessive love for food, showing that selfish people are not concerned about the welfare of others.

Acts 10:13-15: "Then a voice said to him, 'Get up, Peter, kill and eat!' But Peter answered, 'It is no way, sir! I have never ate nothing impure or filthy.' And the voice spoke to him for the second time, 'Do not impurely what God has purified.' "This verse talks about the purity of food, an important concern for the Hebrews in Daniel's time.

Romans 14:17: "For the kingdom of God is neither food nor drink, but justice, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit." This verse emphasizes the importance of more important things than food, such as justice and peace coming from God.

Mark 7:18-20: "He (Jesus) said unto them, 'So are you like this too? Don't you understand that anything that enters man can make him unclean? to the toilet. 'And so he declared all the' pure 'foods. This verse shows how Jesus explained that purity is not related to food, but to our inner nature and what comes out of it.
