[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.‡

Christian Charity and Unity

[1] Him G3588 G1161 that is weak G770 in the G3588 faith G4102 receive ye, G4355 but not G3361 to G1519 doubtful G1261 disputations. G1253§ [2] For G3303 one G3739 believeth G4100 that he may eat G5315 all things: G3956 another, G3588 G1161 who is weak, G770 eateth G2068 herbs. G3001 [3] Let G1848 not G3361 him G3588 that eateth G2068 despise G1848 him G3588 that eateth G2068 not; G3361 and G2532 let G2919 not G3361 him G3588 which eateth G2068 not G3361 judge G2919 him G3588 that eateth: G2068 for G1063 God G2316 hath received G4355 him. G846 [4] Who G5101 art G1488 thou G4771 that G3588 judgest G2919 another man’s G245 servant? G3610 to his own G2398 master G2962 he standeth G4739 or G2228 falleth. G4098 Yea, G1161 he shall be holden up: G2476 for G1063 God G2316 is G2076 able G1415 to make G2476 him G846 stand. G2476 [5] One man G3739 G3303 esteemeth G2919 one day G2250 above G3844 another: G2250 another G3739 G1161 esteemeth G2919 every G3956 day G2250 alike. Let G4135 every man G1538 be fully persuaded G4135§ in G1722 his own G2398 mind. G3563 [6] He G3588 that regardeth G5426§ the G3588 day, G2250 regardeth G5426 it unto the Lord; G2962 and G2532 he G3588 that regardeth G5426 not G3361 the G3588 day, G2250 to the Lord G2962 he G5426 doth not G3756 regard G5426 it. He G3588 that eateth, G2068 eateth G2068 to the Lord, G2962 for G1063 he giveth G2168 God G2316 thanks; G2168 and G2532 he G3588 that eateth G2068 not, G3361 to the Lord G2962 he eateth G2068 not, G3756 and G2532 giveth G2168 God G2316 thanks. G2168 [7] For G1063 none G3762 of us G2257 liveth G2198 to himself, G1438 and G2532 no man G3762 dieth G599 to himself. G1438 [8] For G1063 whether G1437 G5037 we live, G2198 we live G2198 unto the G3588 Lord; G2962 and whether G1437 G5037 we die, G599 we die G599 unto the G3588 Lord: G2962 whether G1437 G5037 we live G2198 therefore, G3767 or G1437 G5037 die, G599 we are G2070 the G3588 Lord’s. G2962 [9] For G1063 to G1519 this end G5124 Christ G5547 both G2532 died, G599 and G2532 rose, G450 and G2532 revived, G326 that G2443 he might be Lord G2961 both G2532 of the dead G3498 and G2532 living. G2198 [10] But G1161 why G5101 dost thou G4771 judge G2919 thy G4675 brother? G80 or G2228 why G5101 dost thou G4771 set at nought G1848 thy G4675 brother? G80 for G1063 we shall G3936 all G3956 stand before G3936 the G3588 judgment seat G968 of Christ. G5547 [11] For G1063 it is written, G1125
As I G1473 live, G2198 saith G3004 the Lord, G2962 G3754 every G3956 knee G1119 shall bow G2578 to me, G1698
And G2532 every G3956 tongue G1100 shall confess G1843 to God. G2316
[12] So G686 then G3767 every one G1538 of us G2257 shall give G1325 account G3056 of G4012 himself G1438 to God. G2316

The Christian Spirit

[13] Let us G2919 not G3371 therefore G3767 judge G2919 one another G240 any more: G3371 but G235 judge G2919 this G5124 rather, G3123 that G3588 no man G3361 put G5087 a stumblingblock G4348 or G2228 an occasion to fall G4625 in his brother’s way. G80 [14] I know, G1492 and G2532 am persuaded G3982 by G1722 the Lord G2962 Jesus, G2424 that G3754 there is nothing G3762 unclean G2839§ of G1223 itself: G1438 but G1487 G3361 to him G3588 that esteemeth G3049 any thing G5100 to be G1511 unclean, G2839 to him G1565 it is unclean. G2839 [15] But G1161 if G1487 thy G4675 brother G80 be grieved G3076 with G1223 thy meat, G1033 now G3765 walkest thou G4043 not G3765 charitably. G2596§ G26 Destroy G622 not G3361 him G1565 with thy G4675 meat, G1033 for G5228 whom G3739 Christ G5547 died. G599 [16] Let G987 not G3361 then G3767 your G5216 good G18 be evil spoken of: G987 [17] for G1063 the G3588 kingdom G932 of God G2316 is G2076 not G3756 meat G1035 and G2532 drink; G4213 but G235 righteousness, G1343 and G2532 peace, G1515 and G2532 joy G5479 in G1722 the Holy G40 Ghost. G4151 [18] For G1063 he G3588 that G1398 in G1722 these things G5125 serveth G1398 Christ G5547 is acceptable G2101 to God, G2316 and G2532 approved G1384 of men. G444 [19] Let us G1377 therefore G686 G3767 follow after G1377 the things G3588 which make for peace, G1515 and G2532 things G3588 wherewith one G240 may edify G3619 G1519 another. G240 [20] For G1752 meat G1033 destroy G2647 not G3361 the G3588 work G2041 of God. G2316 All things G3956 indeed G3303 are pure; G2513 but G235 it is evil G2556 for that G3588 man G444 who eateth G2068 with G1223 offence. G4348 [21] It is good G2570 neither G3361 to eat G5315 flesh, G2907 nor G3366 to drink G4095 wine, G3631 nor G3366 any thing whereby G1722 G3739 thy G4675 brother G80 stumbleth, G4350 or G2228 is offended, G4624 or G2228 is made weak. G770 [22] Hast G2192 thou G4771 faith? G4102 have G2192 it to G2596 thyself G4572 before G1799 God. G2316 Happy G3107 is he G3588 that condemneth G2919 not G3361 himself G1438 in G1722 that thing which G3739 he alloweth. G1381 [23] And G1161 he G3588 that doubteth G1252§ is damned G2632 if G1437 he eat, G5315 because G3754 he eateth not G3756 of G1537 faith: G4102 for G1161 whatsoever G3956 G3739 is not G3756 of G1537 faith G4102 is G2076 sin.
