¹Now receive the one being weak in the trust, not for passing judgment on reasonings.

²One indeed trusts to eat all things, however the one being weak eats vegetables.

³The one eating should not despise the one not eating, and the one not eating should not judge the one eating; for God has received him.

⁴Who are you, you yourself, who is judging another's servant? To the own master he stands or falls. However, he will be upheld, for the Lord is able to uphold him.

⁵For one indeed judges a day to be above another day, however another judges every day alike; let each be fully assured in the own mind.

⁶The one who regards the day regards it to the Lord; and the one not regarding the day, to the Lord does not regard it; and the one who eats eats to the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and the one not eating, to the Lord he does not eat, and he gives thanks to God.

⁷For no one of us lives to himself, and no one dies to himself.

⁸For if both we shall live, to the Lord we live; if also we shall die, to the Lord we die. Therefore if both we shall live, if also we shall die, we are the Lord's.

⁹For unto this the Anointed One both died and rose up and lived again, that he may rule over both the dead and living.

¹⁰However, you yourself, why do you judge your brother? Or also you yourself, why do you despise your brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God.

¹¹For it has been written: I myself live, says the Lord, that to Me every knee will bow, and every tongue will confess to God.

¹²So then each of us will give account concerning his own to God.

¹³Therefore let us no longer judge one another, but determine this rather, not to put any stumbling block or snare before your brother.

¹⁴I know and I have been persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean through itself, except to the one who reckons anything to be unclean; to that one it is unclean;

¹⁵For if your brother is grieved because of food, you are no longer walking according to love. Do not with your food destroy that one for whom the Anointed One died.

¹⁶Therefore do not let your good be denigrated.

¹⁷For the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking but righteousness and wholeness and joy in the Holy Spirit;

¹⁸for the one serving the Anointed One in this thing is well-pleasing to God and approved by men.

¹⁹So then let us pursue the things of peace and the things for edification among each other.

²⁰Do not for the sake of food destroy the work of God. All things indeed are clean, but it is evil to the man eating through a stumbling block;

²¹It is good neither to eat meat nor to drink wine nor anything in which your brother stumbles or is led into sin or is weak.

²²You yourself, the trust that you have, keep to yourself before God; blessed is the one not judging himself in what he approves.

²³However, the one doubting, if he shall eat, has been condemned, because it is not of trust; and everything that is not of trust is sin.
