¹ Him that is weak in the faith receive you, but not to doubtful disputations. ² For one believes that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eats herbs. ³ Let not him that eats despise him that eats not; and let not him which eats not judge him that eats: for God has received him. ⁴ Who are you that judge another man's servant? to his own master he stands or falls. Yes, he will be holden up: for God is able to make him stand. ⁵ One man esteems one day above another: another esteems every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. ⁶ He that regards the day, regards it to the Lord; and he that regards not the day, to the Lord he does not regard it. He that eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives God thanks; and he that eats not, to the Lord he eats not, and gives God thanks. ⁷ For none of us lives to himself, and no man dies to himself. 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. ⁹ For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and reviled, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living. ¹⁰ But why dost you judge your brother? or+ why dost you set at nothing your brother? for we will all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. ¹¹ For it is written, As I live, says the Lord, every knee will bow to me, and every tongue will confess to God. ¹² So then every one of us will give account of himself to God. ¹³ Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way. ¹⁴ I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteems any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean. ¹⁵ But if your brother be grieved with thy meat, now walks you not charitably+ . Destroy not him with your meat, for who Christ died. ¹⁶ Let not then your good be evil spoken of: ¹⁷ For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. ¹⁸ For he that in these things serves Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men. ¹⁹ Let us therefore+ follow after the things which make for peace, and things with which one may edify another. ²⁰ For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eats with offence. ²¹ It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing through which+ your brother stumbles, or is offended, or is made weak. ²² have you faith? have it to yourself before God. Happy is he that condemns not himself in that thing which he alloweth. ²³ And he that doubts is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for anything+ is not of faith is sin.
