Romans 14:1-23

Do Not Pass Judgment on One Another

Now ^aaccept the one who is ^bweak in faith, but not for the purpose of passing judgment on opinions. 2 ^aOne person has faith that he may eat all things, but he who is ^bweak eats vegetables only. 3 The one who eats must not ^aview the one who does not eat with contempt, and the one who does not eat must not ^bjudge the one who eats, for God ^caccepted him. 4 ^aWho are you to judge the ¹servant of another? To his own ²master he stands or falls; and he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand.
5 ^aOne person judges one day above another, another judges every day alike. Each person must be ^bfully convinced in his own mind. 6 He who regards the day, regards it for the Lord, and he who eats, eats for the Lord, for he ^agives thanks to God; and he who does not eat, for the Lord he does not eat and gives thanks to God. 7 For not one of us ^alives for himself, and not one dies for himself; 8 for if we live, we live for the Lord, or if we die, we die for the Lord; therefore ^awhether we live or die, we are the Lord’s. 9 For to this end ^aChrist died and lived again, that He might be ^bLord both of the dead and of the living.
10 But you, why do you judge your brother? Or you again, why do you ^aview your brother with contempt? For ^bwe will all stand before the judgment seat of God. 11 For it is written,

“^aAs I live, says the ¹Lord, ^bto Me every knee shall bow,

And every tongue shall confess to God.”

12 So then ^aeach one of us will give an account of himself to God.
13 Therefore let us not ^ajudge one another anymore, but rather judge this—^bnot to put a stumbling block or offense before a brother. 14 I know and am convinced ¹in the Lord Jesus that ^anothing is defiled in itself; but to him who ^bconsiders anything to be defiled, to him it is defiled. 15 For if because of food your brother is grieved, you are no longer ^awalking according to love. ^bDo not destroy with your food him for whom Christ died. 16 Therefore ^ado not let what is for you a good thing be ¹slandered; 17 for the kingdom of God ^ais not eating and drinking, but righteousness and ^bpeace and ^bjoy in the Holy Spirit. 18 For he who in this way ^aserves Christ is ^bpleasing to God and approved by men. 19 So then ¹let us ^apursue the things which make for peace and the ^bbuilding up of one another. 20 ^aDo not tear down the work of God for the sake of food. ^bAll things indeed are clean, but ^cthey are evil for the man who eats ¹and gives offense. 21 ^aIt is good not to eat meat or to drink wine, or to do anything by which your brother stumbles. 22 The faith which you have, have ¹as your own conviction before God. Blessed is he who ^adoes not judge himself in what he approves. 23 But ^ahe who doubts is condemned if he eats, because his eating is not from faith; and whatever is not from faith is sin.

1 Corinthians 3:10-15

10 According to ^athe grace of God which was given to me, like a wise master builder ^bI laid a foundation, and ^canother is building on it. But each man must be careful how he builds on it. 11 For no one can lay a ^afoundation other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 Now if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, ¹precious stones, wood, hay, straw, 13 ^aeach man’s work will become evident, for ^bthe day will indicate it because it is revealed with fire, and the fire itself will test ¹the quality of each man’s work. 14 If any man’s work which he has built on it remains, he will ^areceive a reward. 15 If any man’s work is burned up, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, yet ^aso as through fire.

2 Corinthians 11:1-4

Paul Defends His Apostleship

I wish that you would ^abear with me in a little ^bfoolishness, but ¹indeed you are bearing with me. 2 For I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy, for I ^abetrothed you to one husband, so that I might ^bpresent you as a pure virgin to Christ. 3 But I fear that, as the ^aserpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds will be corrupted from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ. 4 For if ¹one comes and preaches ^aanother Jesus whom we did not preach, or you receive a ^bdifferent spirit which you did not receive, or a ^cdifferent gospel which you did not accept, you ^dbear this ^ebeautifully.
