* Him that is weak in the faith receive you , but not to doubtful disputations . * For one believes that he may eat all things : another , who is weak , eats herbs . * Let not him that eats despise him that eats not ; and let not him which eats not judge him that eats : for God has received him . * Who are you that judge another man ' servant ? to his own master he stands or falls . Yes , he shall be held up : for God is able to make him stand . * One man esteems one day above another : another esteems every day alike . Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind . * He that regards the day , regards it to the Lord ; and he that regards not the day , to the Lord he does not regard it . He that eats , eats to the Lord , for he gives God thanks ; and he that eats not , to the Lord he eats not , and gives God thanks . * For none of us lives to himself , and no man dies to himself . * For whether we live , we live to the Lord ; and whether we die , we die to the Lord : whether we live therefore , or die , we are the Lord '. * For to this end Christ both died , and rose , and revived , that he might be Lord both of the dead and living . * But why do you judge your brother ? or why do you set at nothing your brother ? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ . * For it is written , As I live , said the Lord , every knee shall bow to me , and every tongue shall confess to God . * So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God . * Let us not therefore judge one another any more : but judge this rather , that no man put a stumbling block or an occasion to fall in his brother ' way . * I know , and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus , that there is nothing unclean of itself : but to him that esteems any thing to be unclean , to him it is unclean . * But if your brother be grieved with your meat , now walk you not charitably . Destroy not him with your meat , for whom Christ died . * Let not then your good be evil spoken of : * For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink ; but righteousness , and peace , and joy in the Holy Ghost . * For he that in these things serves Christ is acceptable to God , and approved of men . * Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace , and things with which one may edify another . * For meat destroy not the work of God . All things indeed are pure ; but it is evil for that man who eats with offense . * It is good neither to eat flesh , nor to drink wine , nor any thing whereby your brother stumbles , or is offended , or is made weak . * Have you faith ? have it to yourself before God . Happy is he that comdemns not himself in that thing which he allows . * And he that doubts is damned if he eat , because he eats not of faith : for whatever is not of faith is sin .
