^{1 Ref} But him that is weak in faith receive ye, `yet' not for decision of scruples.

^{2 Ref} One man hath faith to eat all things: but he that is weak eateth herbs.

^{3 Ref} Let not him that eateth set at nought him that eateth not; and let not him that eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.

^{4 Ref} Who art thou that judgest the servant of another? to his own lord he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be made to stand; for the Lord hath power to make him stand.

^{5 Ref} One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day `alike'. Let each man be fully assured in his own mind.

^{6 Ref} He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord: and he that eateth, eateth unto the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, unto the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.

^{7 Ref} For none of us liveth to himself, and none dieth to himself.

^{8 Ref} For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; or whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.

^{9 Ref} For to this end Christ died and lived `again', that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living.

^{10 Ref} But thou, why dost thou judge thy brother? or thou again, why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment-seat of God.

^{11 Ref} For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, to me every knee shall bow, And every tongue shall confess to God.

^{12 Ref} So then each one of us shall give account of himself to God.

^{13 Ref} Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge ye this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock in his brother's way, or an occasion of falling.

^{14 Ref} I know, and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean of itself: save that to him who accounteth anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.

^{15 Ref} For if because of meat thy brother is grieved, thou walkest no longer in love. Destroy not with thy meat him for whom Christ died.

^{16 Ref} Let not then your good be evil spoken of:

^{17 Ref} for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

^{18 Ref} For he that herein serveth Christ is well-pleasing to God, and approved of men.

^{19 Ref} So then let us follow after things which make for peace, and things whereby we may edify one another.

^{20 Ref} Overthrow not for meat's sake the work of God. All things indeed are clean; howbeit it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.

^{21 Ref} It is good not to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor `to do anything' whereby thy brother stumbleth.

^{22 Ref} The faith which thou hast, have thou to thyself before God. Happy is he that judgeth not himself in that which he approveth.

^{23 Ref} But he that doubteth is condemned if he eat, because `he eateth' not of faith; and whatsoever is not of faith is sin.

^{1 Ref} And him who is weak in the faith receive ye -- not to determinations of reasonings;

^{2 Ref} one doth believe that he may eat all things -- and he who is weak doth eat herbs;

^{3 Ref} let not him who is eating despise him who is not eating: and let not him who is not eating judge him who is eating, for God did receive him.

^{4 Ref} Thou -- who art thou that art judging another's domestic? to his own master he doth stand or fall; and he shall be made to stand, for God is able to make him stand.

^{5 Ref} One doth judge one day above another, and another doth judge every day `alike'; let each in his own mind be fully assured.

^{6 Ref} He who is regarding the day, to the Lord he doth regard `it', and he who is not regarding the day, to the Lord he doth not regard `it'. He who is eating, to the Lord he doth eat, for he doth give thanks to God; and he who is not eating, to the Lord he doth not eat, and doth give thanks to God.

^{7 Ref} For none of us to himself doth live, and none to himself doth die;

^{8 Ref} for both, if we may live, to the Lord we live; if also we may die, to the Lord we die; both then if we may live, also if we may die, we are the Lord's;

^{9 Ref} for because of this Christ both died and rose again, and lived again, that both of dead and of living he may be Lord.

^{10 Ref} And thou, why dost thou judge thy brother? or again, thou, why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand at the tribunal of the Christ;

^{11 Ref} for it hath been written, `I live! saith the Lord -- to Me bow shall every knee, and every tongue shall confess to God;'

^{12 Ref} so, then, each of us concerning himself shall give reckoning to God;

^{13 Ref} no longer, therefore, may we judge one another, but this judge ye rather, not to put a stumbling-stone before the brother, or an offence.

^{14 Ref} I have known, and am persuaded, in the Lord Jesus, that nothing `is' unclean of itself, except to him who is reckoning anything to be unclean -- to that one `it is' unclean;

^{15 Ref} and if through victuals thy brother is grieved, no more dost thou walk according to love; do not with thy victuals destroy that one for whom Christ died.

^{16 Ref} Let not, then, your good be evil spoken of,

^{17 Ref} for the reign of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit;

^{18 Ref} for he who in these things is serving the Christ, `is' acceptable to God and approved of men.

^{19 Ref} So, then, the things of peace may we pursue, and the things of building up one another;

^{20 Ref} for the sake of victuals cast not down the work of God; all things, indeed, `are' pure, but evil `is' to the man who is eating through stumbling.

^{21 Ref} Right `it is' not to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor to `do anything' in which thy brother doth stumble, or is made to fall, or is weak.

^{22 Ref} Thou hast faith! to thyself have `it' before God; happy is he who is not judging himself in what he doth approve,

^{23 Ref} and he who is making a difference, if he may eat, hath been condemned, because `it is' not of faith; and all that `is' not of faith is sin.
