| # Chapter 14
#### 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.
#### 13 | Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge ye this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock in his brother's way, or an occasion of falling.
#### 14 | I know, and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean of itself: save that to him who accounteth anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
#### 15 | For if because of meat thy brother is grieved, thou walkest no longer in love. Destroy not with thy meat him for whom Christ died.
#### 16 | Let not then your good be evil spoken of:
#### 17 | for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
#### 18 | For he that herein serveth Christ is well-pleasing to God, and approved of men.
#### 19 | So then let us follow after things which make for peace, and things whereby we may edify one another.
#### 20 | Overthrow not for meat's sake the work of God. All things indeed are clean; howbeit it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.
#### 21 | It is good not to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor [to do anything] whereby thy brother stumbleth.
#### 22 | The faith which thou hast, have thou to thyself before God. Happy is he that judgeth not himself in that which he approveth.
#### 23 | But he that doubteth is condemned if he eat, because [he eateth] not of faith; and whatsoever is not of faith is sin.
