Romans 14

Now accept the one being weak in the faith, not for passing judgments on opinions.

One person believes to eat anything, but the one being weak eats vegetables. \*

Let the one eating not despise the one not eating, and let the one not eating not judge the one eating. For God has accepted him.

Who are you, the one judging a household slave belonging to another? To his own master he stands or falls. But he will be made to stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand. \*

Indeed, one {person} judges day from day, but another person judges every day {alike}. Let each one be fully convinced in his own mind.

The one regarding the day, regards it for the Lord; and the one eating, eats for the Lord, for he gives thanks to God, and the one not eating, does not eat for the Lord; he also gives thanks to God. \*

For none of us lives for himself, and none dies for himself.

For if we live, we live for the Lord, and if we die, we die for the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or whether we die, we are of the Lord.

For to this {purpose} Christ died and lived {again}, so that he might be Lord of both dead ones and of living ones. \*

But you, why do you judge your brother? And you also, why do you despise your brother? For we will all present ourselves before the judgment seat of God.

For it is written, “‘As I live,’ says the Lord, ‘to me every knee will bend, and every tongue will confess to God.’” \*

So then, each one of us will give an account concerning himself to God.

Therefore, let us no longer judge one another, but rather judge this: to not place a stumbling block for the brother or a trap. \*

I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing {is} unclean by itself, except to the one considering anything to be unclean, for that one {it is} unclean.

For if because of food your brother is hurt, you are no longer walking according to love. Do not destroy with your food that one for whom Christ died. \*

So do not allow your good to be blasphemed.

For the kingdom of God is not food and drink, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. \*

For the one serving Christ in this way {is} well-pleasing to God and approved by men.

So then, let us pursue the things of peace and the things of the building up for one another. \*

Do not tear down the work of God on account of food. All things {are} indeed clean, but {it is} evil for the man who eats with a stumbling block.

{It is} good not to eat meat, nor to drink wine, nor {anything} by which your brother stumbles [or is offended or becomes weak]. \*

The faith that you yourself have, keep according to yourself before God. Blessed {is} the one not judging himself in what he approves.

But the one passing judgment is condemned if he eats, because {it is} not from faith. And all that {is} not from faith is sin. \*
