\c 14
|
||
\p
|
||
\v 1 Receive one who is weak in faith, yet not giving judgment about such questions.
|
||
\v 2 On the one hand, one person has faith to eat anything, but on the other hand, one who is weak eats only vegetables.
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\v 3 Let the one who eats anything not despise the one who does not eat everything; and let not the one who does not eat everything judge the other who eats everything. For God has received him.
|
||
\v 4 Who are you, you who judge a servant belonging to another? Before his own master he stands or falls. But he will be made to stand; for the Lord is able to make him stand.
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\v 5 On the one hand, one person values one day above another, but on the other hand, another values every day equally. Let each person be convinced in his own mind.
|
||
\v 6 He who observes the day, observes it for the Lord; and he who eats, eats for the Lord, for he gives God thanks. He who does not eat, refrains from eating for the Lord; he also gives thanks to God.
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\v 7 For none of us lives for himself, and none dies for himself.
|
||
\v 8 For if we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. Then whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s.
|
||
\v 9 For to this purpose Christ died and lived again, that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living.
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\v 10 But you, why do you judge your brother? And you, why do you despise your brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God.
|
||
\v 11 For it is written,
|
||
\q "As I live," says the Lord, "to me every knee will bend,
|
||
\q and every tongue will give praise to God."
|
||
\m
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\v 12 So then, each one of us will give an account of himself to God.
|
||
\p
|
||
\v 13 Therefore, let us no longer judge one another, but instead decide this, that no one will place a stumbling block or a snare for his brother.
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\v 14 I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean by itself, except that for him who considers anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
|
||
\v 15 If because of food your brother is hurt, you no longer walk in love. Do not destroy with your food one for whom Christ died.
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\v 16 So do not let your good actions cause people to mock them.
|
||
|
||
\v 17 For the kingdom of God is not about food and drink, but about righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\v 18 For the one who serves Christ in this is acceptable to God and approved by people.
|
||
\v 19 So then, let us pursue the things of peace, and the things of building up one another.
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\v 20 Do not destroy the work of God because of food. All things indeed are clean, but it is evil for that person who eats and causes stumbling.
|
||
\v 21 It is good not to eat meat, nor to drink wine, nor anything by which your brother takes offense.
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\v 22 These particular beliefs that you have, keep them between yourself and God. Blessed is the one who does not condemn himself in respect to what he approves of.
|
||
\v 23 He who doubts is condemned if he eats, because it is not from faith; and whatever is not from faith is sin.
