Romans 14:1-12

Living_Oracles(i) 1 Receive him who is weak in the faith, without regard to differences of opinions. 2 One, indeed, believes he may eat everything; but he who is weak eats herbs only. 3 Let not him who eats, despise him who eats not; and let not him who eats not, condemn him who eats: for God has received him. 4 Who are you that condemn another man's servant? By his own master he stands or falls; and he shall be made to stand, for God is able to make him stand. 5 One, indeed, thinks one day more holy than another: but another thinks every day alike. Let every one be convinced in his own mind. 6 He who observes the day, observe it to the Lord; and he who does not observe the day to the Lord, does not observe it: he who eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives God thanks. 7 For none of us lives to himself, and none of us dies to himself. 8 But whether we live, we live to the Lord; and whether we die, we die to the Lord: whether we live, therefore, or die, we are the Lord's. 9 For to this end, Christ both dies and rose, and lives again, that he might rule over both the dead and the living. 10 But you, why do you condemn your brother? and you, also, why do you despise your brother? for we shall all be placed before the judgment seat of Christ. 11 For it is written, "As I live, says the Lord, surely every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God." 12 Well, then, every one of us shall give an account of himself to God.
