¹⁹ because it goeth not into his heart, but into his belly, and goeth out into the draught? `This he said', making all meats clean.

¹³ Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall bring to nought both it and them. But the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body:

¹⁵ And a voice `came' unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, make not thou common.

¹⁷ Perceive ye not, that whatsoever goeth into the mouth passeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?

⁴¹ But give for alms those things which are within; and behold, all things are clean unto you.

⁹ But a voice answered the second time out of heaven, What God hath cleansed, make not thou common.

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

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

³ 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 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 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day `alike'. Let each man be fully assured in his own mind.

⁶ 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 For none of us liveth to himself, and none dieth to himself.

⁸ 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 For to this end Christ died and lived `again', that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living.

¹⁰ 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 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, to me every knee shall bow, And every tongue shall confess to God.

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

¹⁶ Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of a feast day or a new moon or a sabbath day:

²¹ Handle not, nor taste, nor touch

²² (all which things are to perish with the using), after the precepts and doctrines of men?
