Him that
is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to
doubtful disputations.
02 For one believeth that he may eat all things:
another, who is weak, eateth herbs.
03 Let not him that eateth despise him that
eateth not; and let not him which eateth not
judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.
04 Who art thou that judgest another man's
servant? to his own master he standeth or
falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is
able to make him stand.
05 One man esteemeth one day above another:
another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man
be fully persuaded in his own mind.
06 He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto
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.
07 For none of us liveth to himself, and no man
dieth to himself.
08 For whether we live, we live unto the Lord;
and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether
we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.
09 For to this end Christ both died, and rose,
and revived, that he might be Lord both of the
dead and living.
10 But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why
dost thou set at nought 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
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 esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to
him it is unclean.
15 But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat,
now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him
with thy meat, for whom 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 serveth Christ is
acceptable to God, and approved of men.
19 Let us therefore follow after the things which
make for peace, and things wherewith 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 eateth with offence.
21 It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink
wine, nor any thing whereby 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 eat,
because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is
not of faith is sin.
