Romans 14:1-13 ▼

1 And receive him who is weak in the faith—not to determinations of reasonings;

2 one believes that he may eat all things—and he who is weak eats herbs;

3 do not let him who is eating despise him who is not eating: and do not let him who is not eating judge him who is eating, for God received him.

4 You—who are you that are judging another’s domestic [affairs]? To his own master he stands or falls; and he will be made to stand, for God is able to make him stand.

5 One judges one day above another, and another judges every day [alike]; let each be fully assured in his own mind.

6 He who is regarding the day, he regards [it] to the LORD, and he who is not regarding the day, he does not regard [it] to the LORD. He who is eating, he eats to the LORD, for he gives thanks to God; and he who is not eating, he does not eat to the LORD, and gives thanks to God.

7 For none of us lives to himself, and none dies to himself;

8 for both, if we may live, we live to the LORD; if also we may die, we die to the LORD; both then if we may live, also if we may die, we are the LORD’s;

9 for because of this Christ both died and rose again, and lived again, that He may be Lord both of dead and of living.

10 And you, why do you judge your brother? Or again, you, why do you set at nothing your brother? For we will all stand at the judgment seat of the Christ;

11 for it has been written: “I live! Says the LORD—Every knee will bow to Me, and every tongue will confess to God”;

12 so, then, each of us will give reckoning to God concerning himself;

13 therefore, may we judge one another no longer, but rather judge this, not to put a stumbling-stone before the brother, or an offense.
