Yea, he shall be made to stand; for the Lord hath power to make him stand. 14:5 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day [alike]. Let each man be fully assured in his own mind. 14:6 He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord: and he that eateth, eateth unto the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, unto the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks. 14:7 For none of us liveth to himself, and none dieth to himself. 14:8 For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; or whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord`s. 14:9 For to this end Christ died and lived [again], that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living. 14:10 But thou, why dost thou judge thy brother? or thou again, why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment-seat of God. 14:11 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, to me every knee shall bow, And every tongue shall confess to God. 14:12 So then each one of us shall give account of himself to God. 14:13 Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge ye this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock in his brother`s way, or an occasion of falling. 14:14 I know, and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean of itself: save that to him who accounteth anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean. 14:15 For if because of meat thy brother is grieved, thou walkest no longer in love. Destroy not with thy meat him for whom Christ died. 14:16 Let not then your good be evil spoken of: 14:17 for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. 14:18 For he that herein serveth Christ is well-pleasing to God, and approved of men. 14:19 So then let us follow after things which make for peace, and things whereby we may edify one another. 14:20 Overthrow not for meat`s sake the work of God. All things indeed are clean; howbeit it is evil for that man who eateth with offence. 14:21 It is good not to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor [to do anything] whereby thy brother stumbleth. 14:22 The faith which thou hast, have thou to thyself before God. Happy is he that judgeth not himself in that which he approveth. 14:23 But he that doubteth is condemned if he eat, because [he eateth] not of faith; and whatsoever is not of faith is sin.
