Chapter 1 Chapter 2

CHAPTER 14

Accept

him whose

faith

is weak,

without

passing judgment

on his opinions.

For

one man

has faith

to eat

all things,

while

another,

who is weak,

eats

only vegetables.

The one who

eats everything

must not belittle

the one who

does not,

and

the one who

does not eat everything

must not judge

the one who

does,

for

God

has accepted

him.

Who

are

you

to judge

someone else’s

servant?

To his

own

master

he stands

or

falls.

And

he will stand,

for

the

Lord

is able

to make him stand.

One man

regards

a certain day

above

the others,

while

someone else

considers

every

day alike.

Each one

should be fully convinced

in

his

own

mind.

He who

observes

a special day

does so

to the Lord;

he who

eats

does so

to the Lord,

for

he gives thanks

to God;

and

he who

abstains

does so

to the Lord

and

gives thanks

to God.

For

none

of us

lives

to himself alone,

and

none of us

dies

to himself alone.

If

we live,

we live

to the

Lord,

and

if

we die,

we die

to the

Lord.

So

whether

we live

or

die,

we belong to

the

Lord.

For

this reason

Christ

died

and

returned to life,

so that

He might be the Lord of

both

the dead

and

the living.

Why,

then,

do you

judge

your

brother?

Or

why

do you

belittle

your

brother?

For

we will all stand before

God’s

judgment seat.

It is written:

“As surely as I

live,

says

the Lord,

every

knee

will bow

before Me;

every

tongue

will confess

to God.”

So

then,

each

of us

will give

an account

of

himself

to God.

Therefore

let us stop judging

one another.

Instead,

make up your mind

not

to put

any stumbling block

or

obstacle

in your brother’s way.

I am convinced

and

fully persuaded

in

the Lord

Jesus

that

nothing is

unclean

in

itself.

But if

anyone

regards

something

as

unclean,

then for him

it is unclean.

If

your

brother

is distressed

by

what you eat,

you are no longer acting

in

love.

Do not

by

your eating

destroy

your

brother,

for

whom

Christ

died.

Do not allow

what

you consider

good,

then,

to be spoken of as evil.

For

the

kingdom

of God

is

not a matter of

eating

and

drinking,

but

of righteousness,

peace,

and

joy

in

the Holy

Spirit.

For

whoever

serves

Christ

in

this way

is pleasing

to God

and

approved

by men.

So

then,

let us pursue

what leads to

peace

and

to

mutual

edification.

Do not

destroy

the

work

of God

for the sake of

food.

All food is

clean,

but

it is wrong

for a man

to let his eating be

a stumbling block.

It is better

not

to eat

meat

or

drink

wine

or to do anything

to cause

your

brother

to stumble.

Keep

your

belief

about such matters

between

yourself

and

God.

Blessed is

the one who

does not condemn

himself

by

what

he approves.

But

the one who

has doubts

is condemned

if

he eats,

because his eating is

not

from

faith;

and

everything

that is

not

from

faith

is

sin.
