1Him that is weak in the faith, receive unto you, but not for controversies of disputations.
2One believeth that he may eat of all things: and another, which is weak, eateth herbs.
3Let not him that eateth, despise him that eateth not: and let not him which eateth not, condemn him that eateth: for God hath received him.
4Who art thou that condemnest another man’s servant? he standeth or falleth to his own master: yea, he shall be established: for God is able to make him stand.
5This man esteemeth one day above another day, and another man counteth every day alike: let every man be fully persuaded in his mind.
6He that observeth the day, observeth it to the Lord: and he that observeth not the day, observeth it not to the Lord. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord: for he giveth God thanks: and he that eateth not, eateth not to the Lord, and giveth God thanks.
7For none of us liveth to himself, neither doth any die to himself.
8For whether we live, we live unto the Lord: or whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lords.
9For Christ therefore died and rose again, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and the quick.
10But why dost thou condemn thy brother? or why dost thou despise thy brother? for we shall all appear before the judgment seat of Christ.
11For it is written, I live, saith the Lord, and every knee shall bow to me, and all tongues shall confess unto God.
12So then everyone of us shall give accounts of himself to God.
13Let us not therefore judge one another anymore: but use your judgment rather in this that no man put an occasion to fall, or a stumbling block before his brother.
14I know, and am persuaded through the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but unto him that judgeth anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
15But if thy brother be grieved for the meat, now walkest thou not charitably: destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died.
16Cause not your commodity to be evil spoken of.
17For the kingdom of God, is not meat nor drink, but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the holy Ghost.
18For whosoever in these things serveth Christ, is acceptable unto God, and is approved of men.
19Let us then follow those things which concern peace, and wherewith one may edify another.
20Destroy not the work of God for meat’s sake: all things indeed are pure: but it is evil for the man which eateth with offense.
21It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor anything whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or made weak.
22Hast thou faith? have it with thyself before God: blessed is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.
23For he that doubteth, is condemned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: and whatsoever is not of faith, is sin.
