Romans 14:1-7

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;

Romans 14:13-23

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.
