Romans:14:1-15

*
As for the man who is weak in faith ,
accept him ,
but not for disputes over opinions .
*
One believes he may eat anything ,
but the man whose faith is weak eats only vegetables .
*
Let not him who eats despise him who does not ,
and let not him who does not eat pass judgment on him who eats ;
for God has accepted him .
*
Who are you to judge the servant of another ?
To his own master he stands or falls .
And he will be made to stand ,
for the Master is able to make him stand .
*
One man esteems one day as better than another ;
another man esteems every day alike .
Let each one be fully convinced in his own mind .
*
He who observes the day ,
observes it to the Lord .
He who eats ,
eats to the Lord ,
for he gives thanks to God ;
and he who abstains ,
does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God .
*
For none of us lives to himself ,
and none of us dies to himself .
*
If we live ,
we live to the Lord ;
and if we die ,
we die to the Lord .
So then ,
whether we live or whether we die ,
we are the Lord '
s .
*
For to this end Christ died and lived again ,
that he might be Lord both of the dead and of the living .
*
Why do you judge your brother ?
Or you ,
why do you despise your brother ?
For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of God .
*
For it is written :
*
So then each of us shall give account of himself to God .
*
Therefore let us not pass judgment on one another anymore ,
but rather decide never to put a stumbling block or hindrance in our brother
s way .
*
I know and am convinced in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself ;
but if anyone regards something as unclean ,
then for him it is unclean .
*
If your brother is distressed because of what you eat ,
you are no longer walking in love .
Do not by your eating destroy the one for whom Christ died .
