| [1]He who is weak in the faith, assist him. And be consistent in your reasoning. |
[No book] |
| [2]For one believes that he may eat all things: another who is weak, eats vegetables. |
[No book] |
| [3]Let not him who eats despise him who eats not; and let not him who eats not judge him who eats: for God has received him also. |
[No book] |
| [4]Who are you to judge another man's servant? for if he is a success, he is a success to his master; and if he is a failure, he is a failure to his master. As for his success, he will succeed for it is in the power of his master to make him succeed. |

| [5]One person values one day above another: another values all days alike. Let every man be sure in his own mind. |
[No book] |
| [6]He who is mindful concerning a day's duty is considerate of his master; and every one who is not mindful concerning a day's duty, is inconsiderate of his master. And he who is wasteful, is detrimental to his master even though he confesses it to God; and he who is not wasteful, is not wasteful to his master, yet he likewise tells it to God. |
[No book] |
| [7]For none of us lives to himself, and none of us dies to himself. |
[No book] |
| [8]For whether we live, we live unto our LORD; and whether we die, we die unto our LORD: whether we live therefore, or die, we belong to our LORD. |
[No book] |
| [9]For to this end even Christ both died and came back to life, and rose to be LORD both of the dead and living. |
[No book] |
| [10]Why, then, do you judge your brother? or why do you despise your brother? for we must all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. |
[No book] |
| [11]For it is written, As I live, said the LORD, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess me. |
[No book] |
| [12]So then every one of us shall answer for himself to God. |
[No book] |
| [13]Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but rather be mindful of this, that you should never place a stumblingblock in the way of your brother. |
[No book] |
| [14]For I know, and I have confidence in the LORD Jesus, that nothing unclean comes from him: but to him who believes a thing to be unclean, to him only is it unclean. |
[No book] |
| [15]But now if you have caused your brother to grieve on account of meat, then you are not living in harmony. Do not make food a cause to destroy a man for whose sake Christ died. |
[No book] |
| [16]Let not our blessings be a reproach to any one: |
[No book] |
| [17]For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. |
[No book] |
| [18]For he who serves Christ in these things is acceptable to God and is approved by men. |
[No book] |
| [19]Now let us strive after peace, and help one another. |
[No book] |
| [20]And let us not, because of food, destroy the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is wrong for the man who eats with offence. |
[No book] |
| [21]It is better that we neither eat meat nor drink wine nor do any other thing whereby we cause our brother to stumble. |
[No book] |
| [22]You who have a certain belief, keep it to yourself, before God. Blessed is he who does not condemn himself by doing those things which he believes to be wrong. |
[No book] |
| [23]For he who is doubtful and eats, violates his beliefs: for whatever is not of faith, is sin. The strong must help the weak. |
