The Holy Bible
King James Bible 2016
| 14:1 | Receive one who is weak in the faith, but not to disputes over doubtful things. |
| 14:2 | Because, one believes he may eat all things, but he who is weak eats only vegetables. |
| 14:3 | Let not him who eats despise him who does not eat, and let not him who does not eat judge him who eats; because God has received him. |
| 14:4 | Who are you to judge another's servant? To his own master he stands or falls. Indeed, he will be able to stand, because God is able to make him stand. |
| 14:5 | One person esteems one day above another; another esteems every day alike. Let each be fully convinced in his own mind. |
| 14:6 | He who observes the day, observes it to the Lord; and he who does not observe the day, to the Lord he does not observe it. He who eats, eats to the Lord, because he gives God thanks; and he who does not eat, to the Lord he does not eat, and gives God thanks. |
| 14:7 | Because none of us lives to himself, and no one dies to himself. |
| 14:8 | Because, if we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. So whether we live or die, we are the Lord's. |
| 14:9 | Because, for this purpose Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that He might be Lord of both the dead and the living. |
| 14:10 | But why do you judge your brother? Or why do you show contempt for your brother? Because we will all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. |
| 14:11 | Because, it is written: "As I live, says the LORD, every knee will bow to Me, and every tongue will confess to God." |
| 14:12 | So then each of us will give account of himself to God. |
| 14:13 | Therefore let us not judge one another anymore, but rather resolve this, not to put a stumbling block or a reason to fall in his brother's way. |
| 14:14 | I know and am convinced by the Lord Jesus that there is nothing unclean of itself; but to him who considers anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean. |
| 14:15 | But if your brother is grieved because of your food, you are no longer walking in love. Do not destroy with your food the one who Christ died for. |
| 14:16 | Therefore do not let your good be spoken of as evil; |
| 14:17 | because, the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. |
| 14:18 | Because, he who serves Christ in these things is acceptable to God and approved by men. |
| 14:19 | Therefore let us pursue the things which make for peace and the things by which one may edify another. |
| 14:20 | Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. All things indeed are pure, but it is evil for the man who eats with offense. |
| 14:21 | It is good neither to eat meat nor drink grape juice nor do anything by which your brother stumbles or is offended or is made weak. |
| 14:22 | Do you have faith? Have it to yourself before God. Happy is he who does not condemn himself in those things which he approves. |
| 14:23 | But he who doubts is damned if he eats, because he does not eat from faith; because whatever is not from faith is sin. |
