1 Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations. |
2 For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs. |
3 Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him. |
4 Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand. |
5 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. |
6 He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks. |
7 For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself. |
8 For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's. |
9 For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living. |
10 But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. |
11 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. |
12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God. |
