Him that is weak[G770] in the faith[G4102] receive ye[G4355], but[G1161]not[G3361]to[G1519]doubtful[G1261]disputations[G1253].
2For[G3303]one[G3739]believeth[G4100] that he may eat[G5315] all things[G3956]: another[G1161], who is weak[G770], eateth[G2068]herbs[G3001].
3Let[G1848]not[G3361]him[G846] that eateth[G2068]despise[G1848]him[G846] that eateth[G2068]not[G3361]; and[G2532]let[G2068]not[G3361]him[G846] which eateth[G2068]not[G3361]judge[G2919]him[G846] that eateth[G2068]: for[G1063]God[G2316] hath received[G4355]him[G846].
4Who[G5101]art[G1488]thou[G4771] that judgest[G2919] another man's servant?[G3610] to his own[G2398]master[G2962] he standeth[G4739]or[G2228]falleth[G4098]. Yea[G1161], he shall be holden up[G2476]: for[G1063]God[G2316]is[G2076]able[G1415] to make[G2476]him[G846]stand[G2476].
5One[G3303]man[G3739]esteemeth[G2919]one[G3303]day[G2250]above[G3844]another[G2250]: another[G1161]esteemeth[G2919]every[G3956]day[G2250] alike. Let[G4135]every[G3956]man[G1538] be fully persuaded[G4135]in[G1722] his own[G2398]mind[G3563].
6
He that regardeth[G5426] the day[G2250], regardeth[G5426] it unto the Lord[G2962]; and[G2532] he that regardeth[G5426]not[G3361] the day[G2250], to the Lord[G2962] he doth[G5426]not[G3756]regard[G5426] it. He that eateth[G2068], eateth[G2068] to the Lord[G2962], for[G1063] he giveth God[G2316]thanks[G2168]; and[G2532] he that eateth[G2068]not[G3756], to the Lord[G2962] he eateth[G2068]not[G3756], and[G2532] giveth God[G2316]thanks[G2168].
7For[G1063]none[G3762] of us[G2257]liveth[G2198] to himself[G1438], and[G2532] no man[G3762]dieth[G599] to himself[G1438].
8For[G1063]whether[G1437] we live[G2198], we live[G2198] unto the Lord[G2962]; and whether[G5037] we die[G599], we die[G599] unto the Lord[G2962]: whether[G5037] we live[G2198]therefore[G3767], or[G1437]die[G599], we are[G2070] the Lord[G2962]'s.
9For[G1063]to[G1519]this[G5124] end Christ[G5547]both[G2532]died[G599], and[G2532]rose[G450], and[G2532]revived[G326], that[G2443] he might be Lord[G2961]both[G2532] of the dead[G3498]and[G2532]living[G2198].
10But[G1161]why[G5101]dost[G2919]thou[G4771]judge[G2919]thy[G4675]brother?[G80]or[G2228]why[G5101]dost[G1848]thou[G4771] set at nought[G1848]thy[G4675]brother?[G80]for[G1063] we shall[G3936]all[G3956] stand before[G3936] the judgment seat[G968] of Christ[G5547].
11For[G1063] it is written[G1125], As I[G1473]live[G2198], saith[G3004] the Lord[G2962], every[G3956]knee[G1119] shall bow[G2578] to me[G1698], and[G2532]every[G3956]tongue[G1100] shall confess[G1843] to God[G2316].
12So[G3767]then[G686] every one[G1538]of[G4012]us[G2257] shall give[G1325]account[G3056]of[G4012]himself[G1438] to God[G2316].
13
Let us[G2919] not therefore[G3767]judge[G2919] one another[G240] any more[G3371]: but[G235]judge[G2919]this[G5124]rather[G3123], that no man[G3361]put[G5087] a stumblingblock[G4348]or[G2228] an occasion to fall[G4625] in his brother's way[G80].
14
I know[G1492], and[G2532] am persuaded[G3982]by[G1722] the Lord[G2962]Jesus[G2424], that[G3754] there is nothing[G3762]unclean[G2839]of[G1223]itself[G1438]: but[G1508] to him[G1565]that[G3754]esteemeth[G3049] any thing[G5100] to be[G1511]unclean[G2839], to him[G1565] it is unclean[G2839].
15But[G1161]if[G1487]thy[G4675]brother[G80] be grieved[G3076]with[G1223]thy[G4675]meat[G1033], now[G3765] walkest thou[G4043]not[G3765]charitably[G26]. Destroy[G622]not[G3361]him[G1565]with[G1223]thy[G4675]meat[G1033], for[G5228]whom[G3739]Christ[G5547]died[G599].
16Let[G987]not[G3361]then[G3767]your[G5216]good[G18] be evil spoken of[G987]:
17For[G1063] the kingdom[G932] of God[G2316]is[G2076]not[G3756]meat[G1035]and[G2532]drink[G4213]; but[G235]righteousness[G1343], and[G2532]peace[G1515], and[G2532]joy[G5479]in[G1722] the Holy[G40]Ghost[G4151].
18For[G1063] he that in[G1722] these things[G5125]serveth[G1398]Christ[G5547] is acceptable[G2101] to God[G2316], and[G2532]approved[G1384] of men[G444].
19
Let us[G1377]therefore[G686] follow after[G1377] the things which make for[G3588]peace[G1515], and[G2532] things wherewith[G1519]one[G240] may edify[G3619]another[G240].
20For[G1752]meat[G1033]destroy[G2647]not[G3361] the work[G2041] of God[G2316]. All things[G3956]indeed[G3303] are pure[G2513]; but[G235] it is evil[G2556]for[G1752] that man[G444] who eateth[G2068]with[G1223]offence[G4348].
21
It is good[G2570]neither[G3361] to eat[G5315]flesh[G2907], nor[G3366] to drink[G4095]wine[G3631], nor[G3366] any thing whereby[G1722]thy[G4675]brother[G80]stumbleth[G4350], or[G2228] is offended[G4624], or[G2228] is made weak[G770].
22Hast[G2192]thou[G4771]faith?[G4102]have[G2192] it to[G2596]thyself[G4572]before[G1799]God[G2316]. Happy[G3107] is he that condemneth[G2919]not[G3361]himself[G1438]in[G1722] that thing which[G3739] he alloweth[G1381].
23And[G1161] he that doubteth[G1252]is[G2076]damned[G2632]if[G1437] he eat[G5315], because[G3754] he eateth not[G3756]of[G1537]faith[G4102]: for[G1161]whatsoever[G3739]is[G2076]not[G3756]of[G1537]faith[G4102]is[G2076]sin[G266].
