14 Accept the one who is weak in faith, but not for the purpose of quarreling over opinions.
2 One person believes they may eat anything, while the weak person eats only vegetables. 3 The one who eats must not despise the one who abstains, and the one who abstains must not judge the one who eats, for God has accepted them.
4 Who are you to judge someone else's servant? To their own master they stand or fall; and they will stand, for {the Lord}[fn] is able to make them stand.
5 Some judge one day to be better than another, while others judge all days to be alike. Let each be fully convinced in their own mind.
6 The one who observes the day, observes it in honor of the Lord [[and he who does not observe the day, to the Lord he does not observe it]].[fn] [And][fn] The one who eats, eats in honor of the Lord, since they give thanks to God; and the one who abstains, abstains in honor of the Lord and gives thanks to God.
7 For none of us lives for oneself, and none dies for oneself; 8 If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord. 9 For to this end Christ died [[and rose]][fn] and lived again, so that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living.
10 Why do you judge your brother or sister? Or why do you despise your brother or sister? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of {God},[fn] 11 for it is written, “As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.”[fn]
12 So [therefore][fn] each of us will give an account of ourselves [to God].[fn]
13 Therefore, let us no longer judge one another; but rather decide this, not to put a stumbling block or a trap[fn] before a brother.
14 I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself; but it is unclean for anyone who thinks it unclean.
15 For if your brother is grieved because of food, you are no longer walking in love; do not destroy that one with your food, for whom Christ died. 16 Therefore, do not let your good be blasphemed.
17 For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.[fn]
18 Whoever serves Christ in {this way}[fn] is pleasing to God and approved by men.
19 So then, let us pursue what makes for peace and for mutual edification. 20 Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. All things are indeed clean, but it is wrong for anyone to cause another to stumble by what they eat. 21 It is good not to eat meat or drink wine or do anything by which your brother stumbles, [or to be offended or made weak].[fn]
22 {You have faith, [which][fn] you have before God, keep to yourself.}[fn] Blessed is the one who does not judge oneself in what one approves; 23 But the one who doubts, if they eat, they are condemned, because it is not from faith; and everything that is not from faith is sin.
24 [[Now to him who is able to strengthen you according to my gospel and the proclamation of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery that was kept silent for eternal times, 25 but now has been revealed through prophetic writings by the command of the eternal God, to bring about the obedience of faith—to all the nations made known, 26 to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever. Amen.]][fn]
