King James VersionRomans14

Romans

1 Him that is weak in the faith re­ceive ye, but not to doubt­ful dis­pu­ta­tions. 2 For one be­lieveth that he may eat all things: an­oth­er, who is weak, eateth herbs. 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. 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. 5 One man es­teemeth one day above an­oth­er: an­oth­er es­teemeth ev­ery day alike. Let ev­ery man be ful­ly per­suad­ed in his own mind. 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. 7 For none of us liveth to him­self, and no man di­eth to him­self. 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. 9 For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and re­vived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and liv­ing. 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. 11 For it is writ­ten, As I live, saith the Lord, ev­ery knee shall bow to me, and ev­ery tongue shall con­fess to God. 12 So then ev­ery one of us shall give ac­count of him­self to God. 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 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. 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. 16 Let not then your good be evil spo­ken of: 17 For the king­dom of God is not meat and drink; but righ­teous­ness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. 18 For he that in these things serveth Christ is ac­cept­able to God, and ap­proved of men. 19 Let us there­fore fol­low af­ter the things which make for peace, and things where­with one may ed­i­fy an­oth­er. 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. 21 It is good nei­ther to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing where­by thy broth­er stum­bleth, or is of­fend­ed, or is made weak. 22 Hast thou faith? have it to thy­self be­fore God. Hap­py is he that con­dem­neth not him­self in that thing which he al­loweth. 23 And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, be­cause he eateth not of faith: for what­so­ev­er is not of faith is sin.
