Bible verses about "vegetarianism" | LITV

¹ And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying to them, ² Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, These are the living things which you shall eat out of all the animals which are on the earth. ³ Any that divides the hoof and is wholly clovenfooted, bringing up the cud, among the living things, you may eat it. ⁴ Only, you may not eat these, of those bringing up the cud, and of those dividing the hoof: the camel, though it brings up the cud, yet it does not divide the hoof; it is unclean to you; ⁵ and the rock badger, though it brings up the cud, yet it does not divide the hoof; it is unclean to you; ⁶ and the hare, though it brings up the cud, yet it does not divide the hoof; it is unclean to you; ⁷ and the swine, though it divides the hoof and is clovenfooted, yet it does not bring up the cud; it is unclean to you. ⁸ You shall not eat of their flesh, and you shall not touch their dead body; they are unclean to you. ⁹ Of all that are in the waters, you shall eat these; any one that has fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the torrents, you may eat them. ¹⁰ But any one that does not have fins and scales in the seas, and in the torrents, of any swarming creature of the waters, and of any creature which lives in the waters; they are to be detested by you. ¹¹ Yes, they shall be detested by you; you shall not eat of their flesh and you shall shun their dead bodies. ¹² Any one that does not have fins and scales in the waters, it shall be an unclean thing to you. ¹³ And these you shall count unclean among the fowls; they shall not be eaten; they are unclean: the eagle, and the black vulture and the bearded vulture, ¹⁴ and the kite, and the falcon, according to its kind; ¹⁵ every raven according to its kind; ¹⁶ and the ostrich, and the great owl, and the gull, and small hawks, according to its kind ¹⁷ and the little owl, and the cormorant, and the eared owl; ¹⁸ and the barn owl, and the pelican and the owl-vulture; ¹⁹ and the stork, the heron according to its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat. ²⁰ Every flying swarming creature going on all four, it is an abomination to you. ²¹ Only, this you may eat of any swarming thing which flies, which goes on all four, which has legs above its feet, to leap with them on the earth; ²² these are those you may eat: the locusts according to its kind, and the bald locust according to its kind, and the long horned locust according to its kind, and the short horned grasshopper according to its kind. ²³ But every swarming thing which flies, which has four feet, it is unclean to you. ²⁴ And by these you shall be made unclean; any who touches their dead body is unclean until the evening. ²⁵ And anyone who lifts up their dead body shall wash his garments and shall be unclean until the evening; ²⁶ even every living thing which divides the hoof, and is not clovenfooted, and does not bring up the cud, they are unclean to you; anyone who touches them shall be unclean. ²⁷ And any going on its paws among all the living things which go on all four, they are unclean to you; anyone who touches their dead body is unclean until the evening; ²⁸ and he who lifts up their dead body shall wash his garments and shall be unclean until the evening; they are unclean to you. ²⁹ And these shall be unclean to you among the swarming things which swarm on the earth: the weasel, and the mouse, and the great lizard according to its kind, ³⁰ and the gecko, and the monitor, and the lizard, and the sand lizard, and the barn owl. ³¹ These are unclean to you among all which swarm; anyone who touches them in their death is unclean until the evening. ³² And anything on which any one of them falls in their death is unclean, whether of any vessel of wood, or garment, or skin, or sack; any vessel in which work is done shall be caused to go into water, and shall be unclean until the evening; then it shall be cleaned. ³³ Ad any earthen vessel into the midst of which any one of them falls, whatever is in it shall be unclean, and you shall break it. ³⁴ And of all the food which may be eaten, that on which such water falls shall be unclean, and all drink that may be drunk in any such vessel shall be unclean. ³⁵ And anything on which any part of their dead body falls shall be unclean; an oven or hearth shall be broken down; they are unclean; yes, they are unclean to you. ³⁶ But a fountain or a well, a collection of water, shall be clean; only that touching the dead body is unclean. ³⁷ And when any part of their dead body falls on any sowing seed which is sown, it shall be clean; ³⁸ but when water is put on the seed, and any of its dead body has fallen on it, it shall be unclean to you. ³⁹ And when any of the animals which are food for you dies, he who touches its dead body is unclean until the evening; ⁴⁰ and he who eats of its dead body shall wash his garments and shall be unclean until the evening; and he who lifts up its dead body shall wash his garments and shall be unclean until the evening. ⁴¹ And every swarming thing which swarms on the earth is unclean; it shall not be eaten; ⁴² Anything going on its belly, and any going on all four, and all having many feet, even every swarming thing that swarms on the earth, you shall not eat them, for they are unclean; ⁴³ you shall not pollute yourselves with any swarming thing which swarms, nor shall you make yourselves unclean with them, so that you should be defiled by them. ⁴⁴ For I am Jehovah your God, and you have sanctified yourselves, and you have become holy, for I am holy. And you shall not defile your persons with any swarming thing which creeps on the earth; ⁴⁵ for I am Jehovah who brought you up out of the land of Egypt to become your God; and you shall be holy, for I am holy. ⁴⁶ This is the law of the animals, and of the fowl, and of every living creature which moves in the waters, and every creature which swarms on the earth, ⁴⁷ to make a distinction between the unclean and the clean, and between the living thing that may be eaten and the living thing that may not be eaten.

¹⁷ Better is a dinner of vegetables where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred with it.

²⁵ The wolf and the lamb shall feed as one; and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. And dust is the food of the snake. They shall not do evil nor destroy in all My holy mountain, says Jehovah.

¹⁴ Then I said, Ah, Lord Jehovah! Behold, my soul has not been defiled. I have not even eaten a carcass or a torn animal, from my youth even until now. And unclean flesh has not come into my mouth.

¹¹ It is not that which has entered into the mouth that defiles the man, but that which has come out of the mouth, this defiles the man.

¹ And receive the one who is weak in the faith, not to judgments of your thoughts. ² One indeed believes to eat all things, but being weak, another one eats vegetables. ³ The one eating, do not despise the one not eating. And the one not eating, do not judge the one eating, for God received him.

⁶ The one minding the day, he minds it to the Lord. And the one not minding the day, he does not mind it to the Lord. The one eating, he eats to the Lord; for he gives thanks to God. And the one not eating, he does not eat to the Lord, and gives thanks to God.

¹ But the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, cleaving to deceiving spirits and teachings of demons, ² in lying speakers in hypocrisy, being seared in their own conscience, ³ forbidding to marry, saying to abstain from foods, which God created for partaking with thanksgiving by the believers and those knowing the truth. ⁴ Because every creature of God is good, and nothing to be thrust away, but having been received with thanksgiving;

⁴ But you shall not eat flesh in its life, its blood.

⁶ And the wolf shall live with the lamb; and the leopard shall lie with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little boy shall lead them. ⁷ The cow and the bear shall feed, their young shall lie together; and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. ⁸ And the infant shall play on the hole of the asp; yea, the weaned child shall put his hand on the viper's den. ⁹ They shall not do evil, nor destroy in all My holy mountain. For the earth shall be full of the knowledge of Jehovah, as the waters cover the sea.

¹² I beg you, test your servants ten days. And let vegetables be given to us that we may eat, and water that we may drink. ¹³ Then let our face be seen before you, our look and the look of the boys who eat of the king's food. And as you see, deal so with your servants. ¹⁴ And he listened to them in this matter and tested them for ten days. ¹⁵ And at the end of ten days their faces looked better and fatter of flesh than all the boys who were eating the king's food. ¹⁶ So Melzar took away their food and the wine that they were to drink, and he gave them vegetables.

³ Every creeping thing which is alive shall be food for you. I have given you all things, even as the green plant.

¹⁷ For the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

¹ And receive the one who is weak in the faith, not to judgments of your thoughts. ² One indeed believes to eat all things, but being weak, another one eats vegetables. ³ The one eating, do not despise the one not eating. And the one not eating, do not judge the one eating, for God received him. ⁴ Who are you judging another's servant? To his own master he stands or falls. But he will stand, for God is able to make him stand. ⁵ One indeed judges a day above another day; and another one judges every day alike . Let each one be fully assured in his own mind. ⁶ The one minding the day, he minds it to the Lord. And the one not minding the day, he does not mind it to the Lord. The one eating, he eats to the Lord; for he gives thanks to God. And the one not eating, he does not eat to the Lord, and gives thanks to God. ⁷ For no one of us lives to himself and no one dies to himself. ⁸ For both if we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. Then both if we live, and if we die, we are the Lord's. ⁹ For this Christ both died and rose and lived again, that He might be Lord over both the dead and the living. ¹⁰ But why do you judge your brother? Or why also do you despise your brother? For all shall stand before the judgment seat of Christ. ¹¹ For it has been written, " As I live, says the Lord, that every knee will bow to Me, and every tongue confess to God." Isa. 49:18; 45:23 ¹² So then each one of us will give account concerning himself to God. ¹³ Then let us no longer judge one another, but rather judge this, not to put a stumbling-block or an offense toward a brother. ¹⁴ I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing by itself is common; except to the one counting anything to be common, it is common. ¹⁵ But if your brother is grieved because of your food, you no longer walk according to love. Do not by your food destroy that one for whom Christ died. ¹⁶ Then do not let your good be spoken evil of. ¹⁷ For the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. ¹⁸ For the one serving Christ in these things is pleasing to God, and approved by men. ¹⁹ So then let us pursue the things of peace, and the things for building up one another. ²⁰ Do not by your food undo the work of God. Truly, all things are clean, but it is bad to the man who eats through a stumbling-block. ²¹ It is good not to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor anything by which your brother stumbles, or is offended, or is weak. ²² Do you have faith? Have it to yourself before God. Blessed is the one not condemning himself in what he approves. ²³ But the one doubting, if he eats, he has been condemned, because it is not of faith; and whatever is not of faith is sin.

³⁰ And to every beast of the earth, and to all birds of the heavens, and to every creeper on the earth which has in it a living soul, every green plant is for food. And it was so.

²⁹ And God said, Behold, I have given you every plant seeding seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree in which is the fruit of a tree seeding seed; it shall be food for you. ³⁰ And to every beast of the earth, and to all birds of the heavens, and to every creeper on the earth which has in it a living soul, every green plant is for food. And it was so.

²¹ It is good not to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor anything by which your brother stumbles, or is offended, or is weak.
