| 14:1 |
Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, [but] not to doubtful disputations.
|
| 14:2 |
For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.
|
| 14:3 |
Let not him that eateth, despise him that eateth not; and let not him who eateth not, judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.
|
| 14:4 |
Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth: and he shall be held up: for God is able to make him stand.
|
| 14:5 |
One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day [alike]. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
|
| 14:6 |
He that regardeth the day, regardeth [it] to the Lord: and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard [it]. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.
|
| 14:7 |
For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.
|
| 14:8 |
For whether we live, we live to the Lord; and whether we die, we die to the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.
|
| 14:9 |
For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and the living.
|
| 14:10 |
But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at naught thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment-seat of Christ.
|
| 14:11 |
For it is written, [As] I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
|
| 14:12 |
So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
|
| 14:13 |
Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumbling-block, or an occasion to fall in [his] brother's way.
|
| 14:14 |
I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that [there is] nothing unclean by itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him [it is] unclean.
|
| 14:15 |
But if thy brother is grieved with [thy] food, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy food, for whom Christ died.
|
| 14:16 |
Let not then your good be evil spoken of:
|
| 14:17 |
For the kingdom of God is not food and drink, but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.
|
| 14:18 |
For he that in these things serveth Christ, [is] acceptable to God, and approved by men.
|
| 14:19 |
Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things with which one may edify another.
|
| 14:20 |
For the sake of food, destroy not the work of God. All things indeed [are] pure; but [it is] evil for that man who eateth with offense.
|
| 14:21 |
[It is] good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor [any thing] by which thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.
|
| 14:22 |
Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy [is] he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.
|
| 14:23 |
And he that doubteth is damned if he eateth, because [he eateth] not from faith: for whatever [is] not from faith is sin.
