1 Welcome anyone who is weak in faith, but do not engage in disputes over opinions.

Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations.

2 One person believes they may eat anything, while someone who is weak eats only vegetables.

For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.

3 The one who eats must not look down on the one who does not eat, and the one who does not eat must not judge the one who eats, for God has accepted them.

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 are you to judge someone else's servant? To their own Master they stand or fall. And they will stand, for the Lord is able to make them stand.

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 person considers one day more important than another, while another considers every day alike. Each person should be fully convinced in their own mind.

One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.

6 Whoever regards one day as special does so to the Lord. Whoever eats does so to the Lord, for they give thanks to God; and whoever abstains does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God.

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 lives for ourselves alone, and none of us dies for ourselves alone.

For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.

8 If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.

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 this reason Christ died, returned to life, and rose again, so that He might be Lord of both the dead and the living.

For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.

10 But you, why do you judge your brother or sister? Or why do you treat them with contempt? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.

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 It is written: 'As surely as I live,' says the Lord, 'every knee will bow before me; every tongue will acknowledge God.'

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, each of us will give an account of ourselves to God.

So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.

13 Therefore, let us stop judging one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in the way of a brother or sister.

Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.

14 I am convinced, being fully persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean in itself. But if anyone regards something as unclean, then for that person it is unclean.

I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.

15 If your brother or sister is distressed because of what you eat, you are no longer acting in love. Do not by your eating destroy someone for whom Christ died.

But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died.

16 Therefore, do not let what you know is good be spoken of as evil.

Let not then your good be evil spoken of:

17 For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.

For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

18 For anyone who serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and approved by people.

For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men.

19 So then, let us pursue what promotes peace and what builds up one another.

Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.

20 Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. All things are indeed clean, but it is wrong for a person to eat anything that causes someone else to stumble.

For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.

21 It is good not to eat meat or drink wine or do anything that causes your brother or sister to stumble, to be offended, or to be weakened.

It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.

22 Do you have faith? Keep it to yourself before God. Blessed is the one who does not condemn himself by what he approves.

Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.

23 But whoever doubts and eats is condemned if they do so, because their actions are not from faith; and everything that does not come from faith is sin.

And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.
