| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1Now accept the one who is weak in faith, but not for the purpose of passing judgment on his opinions. |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2One person has faith that he may eat all things, but he who is weak eats vegetables only. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3The one who eats is not to regard with contempt the one who does not eat, and the one who does not eat is not to judge the one who eats, for God has accepted him. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4Who are you to judge the servant of another? To his own master he stands or falls; and he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5One person regards one day above another, another regards every day alike. Each person must be fully convinced in his own mind. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6He who observes the day, observes it for the Lord, and he who eats, does so for the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he who eats not, for the Lord he does not eat, and gives thanks to God. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7For not one of us lives for himself, and not one dies for himself; |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8for if we live, we live for the Lord, or if we die, we die for the Lord; therefore whether we live or die, we are the Lord's. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9For to this end Christ died and lived again, that He might be Lord both of the dead and of the living. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10But you, why do you judge your brother? Or you again, why do you regard your brother with contempt? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11For it is written, "AS I LIVE, SAYS THE LORD, EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW TO ME, AND EVERY TONGUE SHALL GIVE PRAISE TO GOD." |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12So then each one of us will give an account of himself to God. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13Therefore let us not judge one another anymore, but rather determine this-- not to put an obstacle or a stumbling block in a brother's way. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14I know and am convinced in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself; but to him who thinks anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15For if because of food your brother is hurt, you are no longer walking according to love. Do not destroy with your food him for whom Christ died. |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16Therefore do not let what is for you a good thing be spoken of as evil; |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18For he who in this way serves Christ is acceptable to God and approved by men. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19So then we pursue the things which make for peace and the building up of one another. |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20Do not tear down the work of God for the sake of food. All things indeed are clean, but they are evil for the man who eats and gives offense. |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21It is good not to eat meat or to drink wine, or to do anything by which your brother stumbles. |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22The faith which you have, have as your own conviction before God. Happy is he who does not condemn himself in what he approves. |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because his eating is not from faith; and whatever is not from faith is sin. |
