Romans 14:1-13 ▼

1 But receive to yourselves him who is weak in faith, not into disputations of doubtful matters.

2 One indeed believes he is to eat all things: another who is weak, vegetables.

3 Let not the one eating snub the one not eating. Let not the one not eating judge the one eating; for God received him.

4 Who art thou judging another man's servant? to his own master he stands or falls: but he shall stand; for God is able to make him stand.

5 For one indeed judges a day above a day: another judges every day (alike); let each one be fully persuaded in his own mind.

6 The one regarding the day, regards it to the Lord: the one eating, eats to the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and the one not eating, eats not to the Lord, and gives thanks to God.

7 For no one of us lives to himself, and no one dies to himself:

8 for if indeed we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. Then indeed if we live, and if we die, we are the Lord's.

9 For unto this Christ died, and lives, in order that He may be Lord of the dead and of the living.

10 But why do you judge your neighbor, or indeed why do you discount your brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment-seat of God.

11 For it has been written; As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.

12 Then therefore each one of us shall give an account to God for himself.

13 Then let us no longer judge one another: but rather judge this, not to place before a brother an offence for a stumblingblock.
