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 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 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. |
