Romans:14:1-23
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Receive one that is weak in the faith ,
not for disputes over opinions .
*
One indeed believes that he may eat all things ,
but another ,[ ]
being weak ,
eats [
only ]
vegetables .
*
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 ]
received him .
*
Who are you to judge another '
s servant ?
To his own master he stands or he falls .
And he shall be made to stand ,
for God is able to make him stand .
*
One indeed judges one day above another ;
but another judges every day [
the same ].
Let each be fully assured in his own mind .
*
He that regards the day ,
regards it to the Lord ;
and he that does not regard the day ,
to the Lord he does not regard it .
And he that eats ,
eats to the Lord ,
for he gives thanks to God ;
and he that does not eat ,
to the Lord he does not eat ,
and he gives thanks to God .
*
For none of us lives to himself ,
and no one dies to himself .
*
For whether we live ,
we live to the Lord ;
and whether we die ,
we die to the Lord .
Therefore ,
whether we live ,
or whether we die ,
we are the Lord '
s .
*
For to this end Christ died and rose and lived [
again ],
so that He might be Lord of both [
the ]
dead and [
the ]
living .
*
But why do you judge your brother ?
Or why do you despise your brother ?
For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ .
*
For it is written : "
As I live ,
says the LORD ,
every knee shall bow to Me ,
and every tongue shall confess to God ."
*
So then each of us shall give account concerning himself to God .
*
Therefore let us no longer judge one another ,
but judge this rather ,
not to put a stumbling block or an offense before our brother .
*
I know and am convinced in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean of itself ;
except to him considering anything to be unclean ,
to him it is unclean .
*
But if your brother is grieved on account of your food ,
you are no longer walking according to love .
Do not destroy with your food the one on behalf of whom Christ died .
*
Therefore do not let your good be slandered .
*
For the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking ,
but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit .
*
For he that serves Christ in these things is well pleasing to God and approved by men .
*
Therefore let us pursue the things [
which make ]
for peace and the things by which one may edify another .
*
Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food .
All things indeed are clean ,
but [
are ]
evil for the man eating with offense .
*
It is good neither to eat meat nor drink wine nor [
to do anything ]
by which your brother stumbles or is offended or becomes weak .
*
Do you have faith ?
By yourself ,
have it before God .
Blessed is he that does not condemn himself in what he approves .
*
But he who doubts ,
if he eats ,
has been condemned ,
because [
it is ]
not of faith ;
and everything which [
is ]
not of faith is sin .
