¹ Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, [but] not to doubtful disputations.² For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.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.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.⁵ One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day [alike]. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.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.⁷ For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth 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 revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and the living.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.¹¹ For it is written, [As] I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.¹² So then every one of us shall 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 stumbling-block, 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 by itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him [it is] unclean.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.¹⁶ Let not then your good be evil spoken of:¹⁷ For the kingdom of God is not food and drink, but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.¹⁸ For he that in these things serveth Christ, [is] acceptable to God, and approved by men.¹⁹ Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things with which one may edify another.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.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.²² Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy [is] he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.²³ And he that doubteth is damned if he eateth, because [he eateth] not from faith: for whatever [is] not from faith is sin.
