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 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. 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 theLord 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 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.
Isa 45:23

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 inthe 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 evilfor 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 thingwhich he alloweth.

23: And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: forwhatsoever is not of faith is sin.
Romans 15
