Romans 14:1-9 ▼

1 Him that is weak in the faith, receive kindly, but not to judge his reasonings.

2 One believes that he may eat all things; another, who is weak, eats herbs.

3 Let not him that eats, despise him that eats not; and let not him that eats not, judge him that eats: for God has received him.

4 Who are you that judge another man's servant? To his own master he stands or falls; indeed, he shall stand, for God is able to make him stand.

5 One man thinks that one day is better than another; another thinks that every day is alike. Let each be fully assured in his own mind.

6 He that regards the day, to the Lord he regards it; and he that does not regard the day, to the Lord he does not regard it. He that eats, eats to the Lord; for he gives God thanks: and he that eats not, to the Lord he eats not, and gives God thanks.

7 For no one lives to himself, and no one dies to himself.

8 For if we live, we live to the Lord; or if we die, we die to the Lord. "Whether, therefore, we live or die, we are the Lord's.

9 For this very purpose, Christ both died and rose, and lived again, that he might have dominion over the dead and the living.
