Chapter 14 | |
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 which eateth not 1judge 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. Yea, he shall be holden 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 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. |
7 | For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself. |
8 | 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. |
9 | 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 1stand before the judgment seat
of Christ.
|
11 | For it is
written,
1As 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 aunclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be bunclean, to him it is cunclean. |
15 | But if thy brother be grieved with thy ameat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy bmeat, 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 ameat 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. |
