1 Now accept one who is weak in faith, but not for disputes over opinions. 2 One man has faith to eat all things, but he who is weak eats only vegetables. 3 Don’t let him who eats despise him who doesn’t eat. Don’t let him who doesn’t eat judge him who eats, for God has accepted him. 4 Who are you who judge another’s servant? To his own lord he stands or falls. Yes, he will be made to stand, for God has power to make him stand.

5 One man esteems one day as more important. Another esteems every day alike. Let each man be fully assured in his own mind. 6 He who observes the day, observes it to the Lord; and he who does not observe the day, to the Lord he does not observe it. He who eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives God thanks. He who doesn’t eat, to the Lord he doesn’t eat, and gives God thanks. 7 For none of us lives to himself, and none dies to himself. 8 For if we live, we live to the Lord. Or if we die, we die to the Lord. If therefore we live or die, we are the Lord’s. 9 For to this end Christ died, rose, and lived again, that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living.

10 But you, why do you judge your brother? Or you again, why do you despise your brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. 11 For it is written,

"‘As I live,’ says the Lord, ‘to me every knee will bow.

Every tongue will confess to God.’"

12 So then each one of us will give account of himself to God.

13 Therefore let’s not judge one another any more, but judge this rather, that no man put a stumbling block in his brother’s way, or an occasion for falling. 14 I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean of itself; except that to him who considers anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean. 15 Yet if because of food your brother is grieved, you walk no longer in love. Don’t destroy with your food him for whom Christ died. 16 Then don’t let your good be slandered, 17 for God’s Kingdom is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit. 18 For he who serves Christ in these things is acceptable to God and approved by men. 19 So then, let’s follow after things which make for peace, and things by which we may build one another up. 20 Don’t overthrow God’s work for food’s sake. All things indeed are clean, however it is evil for that man who creates a stumbling block by eating. 21 It is good to not eat meat, drink wine, nor do anything by which your brother stumbles, is offended, or is made weak.

22 Do you have faith? Have it to yourself before God. Happy is he who doesn’t judge himself in that which he approves. 23 But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because it isn’t of faith; and whatever is not of faith is sin.

24 Now to him who is able to establish you according to my Good News and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which has been kept secret through long ages, 25 but now is revealed, and by the Scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the eternal God, is made known for obedience of faith to all the nations; 26 to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever! Amen.

1 Now him that is weak in the faith receive, not to {the} determining of questions of reasoning.2 One man is assured that he may eat all things; but the weak eats herbs.3 Let not him that eats make little of him that eats not; and let not him that eats not judge him that eats: for God has received him.4 Who art *thou* that judgest the servant of another? to his own master he stands or falls. And he shall be made to stand; for the Lord is able to make him stand.5 One man esteems day more than day; another esteems every day {alike}. Let each be fully persuaded in his own mind.6 He that regards the day, regards it to {the} Lord. And he that eats, eats to {the} Lord, for he gives God thanks; and he that does not eat, {it is} to {the} Lord he does not eat, and gives God thanks.7 For none of us lives to himself, and none dies to himself.8 For both if we should live, {it is} to the Lord we live; and if we should die, {it is} to the Lord we die: both if we should live then, and if we should die, we are the Lord's.9 For to this {end} Christ has died and lived {again}, that he might rule over both dead and living.10 But thou, why judgest thou thy brother? or again, thou, why dost thou make little of thy brother? for we shall all be placed before the judgment-seat of God.11 For it is written, *I* live, saith {the} Lord, that to me shall bow every knee, and every tongue shall confess to God.12 So then each of us shall give an account concerning himself to God.13 Let us no longer therefore judge one another; but judge ye this rather, not to put a stumbling-block or a fall-trap before his brother.14 I know, and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean of itself; except to him who reckons anything to be unclean, to that man {it is} unclean.15 For if on account of meat thy brother is grieved, thou walkest no longer according to love. Destroy not him with thy meat for whom Christ has died.16 Let not then your good be evil spoken of;17 for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, and peace, and joy in {the} Holy Spirit.18 For he that in this serves the Christ {is} acceptable to God and approved of men.19 So then let us pursue the things which tend to peace, and things whereby one shall build up another.20 For the sake of meat do not destroy the work of God. All things indeed {are} pure; but {it is} evil to that man who eats while stumbling {in doing so}.21 {It is} right not to eat meat, nor drink wine, nor {do anything} in which thy brother stumbles, or is offended, or is weak.22 Hast *thou* faith? have {it} to thyself before God. Blessed {is} he who does not judge himself in what he allows.23 But he that doubts, if he eat, is condemned; because {it is} not of faith; but whatever {is} not of faith is sin.
