Romans 14:1-8 ▼

1 Accept him whose faith is weak, without passing judgment on his opinions (without quarreling over disputable matters).

2 For one person has faith to eat all things, while another, who is weak, eats only vegetables.

3 The one who eats everything must not belittle the one who does not, and the one who does not eat everything must not judge the one who does, for God {Theos} has accepted him.

4 Who are you to judge someone else’s servant? To his own master {kyriō} he stands or falls. And he will stand, for the Lord {Kyrios} is able to make him stand.

5 One person regards a certain day above the others, while someone else considers every day alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind.

6 He who observes a special day does so to the Lord; [he who does not regard the day, to the Lord he does not regard it;] he who eats does so to the Lord {Kyriō}, for he gives thanks to God {Theō}; and he who abstains does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God.

7 For none of us lives to himself alone, and none of us dies to himself alone.

8 If we live, we live to the Lord {Kyriō}, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord {Kyriou}.
