14:1 Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, [but] not to doubtful disputations:

14:2 For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs:

14:3 Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him:

14:4 Who art thou that judgest another man' s servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand:

14:5 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day [alike]. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind:

14:6 He that regardeth the day, regardeth [it] unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard [it]. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks:

14:7 For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself:

14:8 For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord' s:

14:9 For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living:

14:10 But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ:

14:11 For it is written, [As] I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God:

14:12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God:

14:13 Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in [his] brother' s way:

14:14 I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that [there is] nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him [it is] unclean:

14:15 But if thy brother be grieved with [thy] meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died:

14:16 Let not then your good be evil spoken of:

14:17 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost:

14:18 For he that in these things serveth Christ [is] acceptable to God, and approved of men:

14:19 Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another:

14:20 For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed [are] pure; but [it is] evil for that man who eateth with offence:

14:21 good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor [any thing] whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak:

14:22 Hast thou faith? have [it] to thyself before God. Happy [is] he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth:

14:23 And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because [he eateth] not of faith: for whatsoever [is] not of faith is sin:
