Romans 14:1-9 ▼

1 But accept those who are weak in faith, without disputing about ideas.

2 For one person believes that he may eat all things, but if another is weak, let him eat plants.

3 He who eats should not despise him who does not eat. And he who does not eat should not judge him who eats. For God has accepted him.

4 Who are you to judge the servant of another? He stands or falls by his own Lord. But he shall stand. For God is able to make him stand.

5 For one person discerns one age from the next. But another discerns unto every age. Let each one increase according to his own mind.

6 He who understands the age, understands for the Lord. And he who eats, eats for the Lord; for he gives thanks to God. And he who does not eat, does not eat for the Lord, and he gives thanks to God.

7 For none of us lives for himself, and none of us dies for himself.

8 For if we live, we live for the Lord, and if we die, we die for the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.

9 For Christ died and rose again for this purpose: that he might be the ruler of both the dead and the living.
