Rom 14
1
But him whom is weak in faith receive you, [yet] not for decision of scruples.
2
One man has faith to eat all things: but he who is weak eats herbs.
3
Let not him whom eats set at nothing him whom eats not; and let not him whom eats
not judge him whom eats: for God has received him.
4
Who are you that judge the servant of another? to his own lord he stands or falls.
Yea, he shall be made to stand; for the Lord has power to make him stand.
5
One man esteems one day above another: another esteems every day [alike]. Let each
man be fully assured in his own mind.
6
He who regards the day, regards it to the Lord: and he who eats, eats to the Lord,
for he gives God thanks; and he who eats not, to the Lord he eats not, and gives God
thanks.
7
For none of us lives to himself, and none dies to himself.
8
For whether we live, we live to the Lord; or whether we die, we die to the Lord: whether
we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord`s.
9
For to this end Christ died and lived [again], that he might be Lord of both the dead
and the living.
10
But you, why do you judge your brother? or you again, why do you set at nothing your
brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment-seat of God.
11
For it is written, As I live, says the Lord, to me every knee shall bow, And every
tongue shall confess to God.
12
So then each one of us shall give account of himself to God.
13
Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge you this rather, that no
man put a stumbling block in his brother`s way, or an occasion of falling.
14
I know, and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean of itself: save
that to him who accounts anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
15
For if because of meat your brother is grieved, you walk no longer in love. Destroy
not with your meat him for whom Christ died.
16
Let not then your good be evil spoken of:
17
for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and
joy in the Holy Spirit.
18
For he who herein serves Christ is well-pleasing to God, and approved of men.
19
So then let us follow after things which make for peace, and things whereby we may
edify one another.
20
Overthrow not for meat`s sake the work of God. All things indeed are clean; nevertheless
it is evil for that man who eats with offense.
21
It is good not to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor [to do anything] whereby your
brother stumbles.
22
The faith which you have, have you to yourself before God. Happy is he who judges
not himself in that which he approves.
23
But he who doubts is condemned if he eat, because [he eats] not of faith; and whatever
is not of faith is sin.
