rkjnt - Romans:14:1-15:13

rkjnt@Romans:14:1 @ Accept him who is weak in the faith, and do not dispute over his opinions.

rkjnt@Romans:14:2 @ For one believes that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eats only vegetables.

rkjnt@Romans:14:3 @ Let not him who eats despise him who does not eat; and let not him who does not eat judge him who eats: for God has accepted him.

rkjnt@Romans:14:4 @ Who are you to judge another man's servant? to his own master he stands or falls. And he shall be upheld: for the Lord is able to make him stand.

rkjnt@Romans:14:5 @ One man esteems one day above another: another esteems every day alike. Let each man be fully convinced in his own mind.

rkjnt@Romans:14:6 @ He who observes the day, observes it for the Lord; He who eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives God thanks; and he who does not eat, abstains for the Lord, and gives God thanks.

rkjnt@Romans:14:7 @ For none of us lives for himself, and none of us dies for himself.

rkjnt@Romans:14:8 @ For if we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord: therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord's.

rkjnt@Romans:14:9 @ For to this end Christ both died, and rose to life, that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living.

rkjnt@Romans:14:10 @ Why do you judge your brother? or why do you despise your brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of God.

rkjnt@Romans:14:11 @ For it is written, As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.

rkjnt@Romans:14:12 @ So then, every one of us shall give an account of himself to God.

rkjnt@Romans:14:13 @ Therefore, let us not judge one another any more: but rather decide never to put a stumbling block or an obstacle in a brother's way.

rkjnt@Romans:14:14 @ I know, and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him who considers anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.

rkjnt@Romans:14:15 @ But if your brother is hurt because of your food, you are no longer walking in love. Do not destroy with your food him for whom Christ died.

rkjnt@Romans:14:16 @ Therefore, do not let your good be spoken of as evil:

rkjnt@Romans:14:17 @ For the kingdom of God is not food and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.

rkjnt@Romans:14:18 @ For he who serves Christ in this way is acceptable to God, and approved by men.

rkjnt@Romans:14:19 @ Therefore, let us follow after the things which make for peace, and things which edify one another.

rkjnt@Romans:14:20 @ Do not destroy the work of God for food. All things indeed are pure; but it is wrong for a man to cause another to fall by what he eats.

rkjnt@Romans:14:21 @ It is good not to eat meat, or to drink wine, or do anything that causes your brother to stumble.

rkjnt@Romans:14:22 @ Do you have a conviction? keep it for yourself before God. Happy is he who does not condemn himself in that thing which he approves.

rkjnt@Romans:14:23 @ But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because his eating is not from faith: and whatever is not from faith is sin.

rkjnt@Romans:15:1 @ We then who are strong ought to bear with the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

rkjnt@Romans:15:2 @ Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good, to edify him.

rkjnt@Romans:15:3 @ For even Christ did not please himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of those who reproached you fell upon me.

rkjnt@Romans:15:4 @ For whatever things were written in the past were written for our instruction, that through endurance and the encouragement of the scriptures, we might have hope.

rkjnt@Romans:15:5 @ Now may the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to live in harmony with one another, according to Christ Jesus:

rkjnt@Romans:15:6 @ That you may with one heart and one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

rkjnt@Romans:15:7 @ Therefore welcome one another, as Christ welcomed us to the glory of God.

rkjnt@Romans:15:8 @ Now I say that Christ became a minister to the circumcised for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made to the fathers:

rkjnt@Romans:15:9 @ And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will praise you among the Gentiles, and sing to your name.

rkjnt@Romans:15:10 @ And again he says, Rejoice, you Gentiles, with his people.

rkjnt@Romans:15:11 @ And again, Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles; and praise him, all you people.

rkjnt@Romans:15:12 @ And again, Isaiah says, The root of Jesse shall come, and he shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles hope.

rkjnt@Romans:15:13 @ Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Spirit.
