14:1 |
Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, 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 . Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. |
|
14:6 |
He that regardeth the day, regardeth to the Lord: and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard . 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. |

|
14:11 |
For it is written, 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 brother's way. |
|
14:14 |
I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that nothing unclean by itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him unclean. |
|
14:15 |
But if thy brother is grieved with 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, 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 pure; but evil for that man who eateth with offense. |
|

good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor by which thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak. |
|
14:22 |
Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth. |
|
14:23 |
And he that doubteth is damned if he eateth, because not from faith: for whatever not from faith is sin. |
