Bible verses about "safety" | BBE

¹ Do not put on one side him who is feeble in faith, and do not put him in doubt by your reasonings. ² One man has faith to take all things as food: another who is feeble in faith takes only green food. ³ Let not him who takes food have a low opinion of him who does not: and let not him who does not take food be a judge of him who does; for he has God's approval. ⁴ Who are you to make yourself a judge of another man's servant? it is to his master that he is responsible for good or bad.
