14:1  Now him that is weak in the faith receive, not to the determining of questions of reasoning.
14:2  One man is assured that he may eat all things; but the weak eats herbs.
14:3  Let not him that eats make little of him that eats not; and let not him that eats not judge him that eats: for God has received him.
14:4  Who art thou that judgest the servant of another? to his own master he stands or falls. And he shall be made to stand; for the Lord is able to make him stand.
14:5  One man esteems day more than day; another esteems every day alike. Let each be fully persuaded in his own mind.
14:6  He that regards the day, regards it to the Lord. And he that eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives God thanks; and he that does not eat, it is to the Lord he does not eat, and gives God thanks.
14:7  For none of us lives to himself, and none dies to himself.
14:8  For both if we should live, it is to the Lord we live; and if we should die, it is to the Lord we die: both if we should live then, and if we should die, we are the Lord's.
14:9  For to this end Christ has died and lived again, that he might rule over both dead and living.
14:10  But thou, why judgest thou thy brother? or again, thou, why dost thou make little of thy brother? for we shall all be placed before the judgment-seat of God.
14:11  For it is written, I live, saith the Lord, that to me shall bow every knee, and every tongue shall confess to God.
14:12  So then each of us shall give an account concerning himself to God.
14:13  Let us no longer therefore judge one another; but judge ye this rather, not to put a stumbling-block or a fall-trap before his brother.
14:14  I know, and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean of itself; except to him who reckons anything to be unclean, to that man it is unclean.
14:15  For if on account of meat thy brother is grieved, thou walkest no longer according to love. Destroy not him with thy meat for whom Christ has died.
14:16  Let not then your good be evil spoken of;
14:17  for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.
14:18  For he that in this serves the Christ is acceptable to God and approved of men.
14:19  So then let us pursue the things which tend to peace, and things whereby one shall build up another.
14:20  For the sake of meat do not destroy the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil to that man who eats while stumbling in doing so.
14:21  It is right not to eat meat, nor drink wine, nor do anything in which thy brother stumbles, or is offended, or is weak.
14:22  Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Blessed is he who does not judge himself in what he allows.
14:23  But he that doubts, if he eat, is condemned; because it is not of faith; but whatever is not of faith is sin.
