The Most Taken Out Of Context And Then Obeyed Verse Ever?

"The faith that you have, keep between yourself and God."
Rom 14: 22

Or is it just me that really struggles not to obey this, as it stands there?
(Nb: This is not the achilles heel verse of evangelicalism. The context makes clear Paul is talking about not ruining other Christians by beating them up with our stance (faith) on secondary issues.)

I love the apparent paradoxes that abound in Christianity:

Once truly found, Jesus can never be lost.
Yet we're desperate to give Him away each day.
