Romans Chapter 14 (NASB)
undefined
Now accept the one who is weak in faith, [but] not for [the purpose of] passing judgment on his opinions.
undefined
One person has faith that he may eat all things, but he who is weak eats vegetables [only].
undefined
The one who eats is not to regard with contempt the one who does not eat, and the one who does not eat is not to judge the one who eats, for God has accepted him.
undefined
Who are you to judge the servant of another? To his own master he stands or falls; and he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand.
undefined
One person regards one day above another, another regards every day [alike]. Each person must be fully convinced in his own mind.
undefined
He who observes the day, observes it for the Lord, and he who eats, does so for the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he who eats not, for the Lord he does not eat, and gives thanks to God.
undefined
For not one of us lives for himself, and not one dies for himself;
undefined
for if we live, we live for the Lord, or if we die, we die for the Lord; therefore whether we live or die, we are the Lord's.
undefined
For to this end Christ died and lived again, that He might be Lord both of the dead and of the living.
undefined
But you, why do you judge your brother? Or you again, why do you regard your brother with contempt? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God.
undefined
For it is written, 'AS I LIVE, SAYS THE LORD, EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW TO ME, AND EVERY TONGUE SHALL GIVE PRAISE TO GOD.'
undefined
So then each one of us will give an account of himself to God.
undefined
Therefore let us not judge one another anymore, but rather determine this-- not to put an obstacle or a stumbling block in a brother's way.
undefined
I know and am convinced in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself; but to him who thinks anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
undefined
For if because of food your brother is hurt, you are no longer walking according to love. Do not destroy with your food him for whom Christ died.
undefined
Therefore do not let what is for you a good thing be spoken of as evil;
undefined
for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
undefined
For he who in this [way] serves Christ is acceptable to God and approved by men.
undefined
So then we pursue the things which make for peace and the building up of one another.
undefined
Do not tear down the work of God for the sake of food. All things indeed are clean, but they are evil for the man who eats and gives offense.
undefined
It is good not to eat meat or to drink wine, or [to do anything] by which your brother stumbles.
undefined
The faith which you have, have as your own conviction before God. Happy is he who does not condemn himself in what he approves.
undefined
But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because [his eating is] not from faith; and whatever is not from faith is sin.
