14:1   Now accept the one who shows weakness in faith, but not for the purpose of passing judgment on his opinions.

14:2   One person has faith that he may eat all things, but he who has weakness eats vegetables only.

14:3   The one who eats should not regard with contempt the one who does not eat, and the one who does not eat should not judge the one who eats, for God has accepted him.

14:4   Why should you presume to judge the servant of another? To his own master he stands or falls; and he will stand, for the Lord can make him stand.

14:5   One person regards one day above another, another regards every day alike Each person must convince himself in his own mind.

14:6   6He who observes the day, observes it for the Lord, and he who eats, does so for the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he who eats not, for the Lord he does not eat, and gives thanks to God.

14:7  For not one of us lives for himself, and not one dies for himself;

14:8   for if we live, we live for the Lord, or if we die, we die for the Lord; therefore whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.

14:9  For to this end Christ died and lived again, that He might become Lord both of the dead and of the living.

14:10   But you, why do you judge your brother? Or you again, why do you regard your brother with contempt? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God.

14:11  For the scriptures read, " AS I LIVE, SAYS THE LORD, EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW TO ME, AND EVERY TONGUE SHALL GIVE PRAISE TO GOD."

14:12   So then each one of us will give an account of himself to God.

14:13   Therefore let us not judge one another anymore, but rather determine this-- not to put an obstacle or a stumbling block in a brother's way.

14:14   I know and have conviction in the Lord Jesus that nothing has uncleanness in itself; but to him who thinks anything unclean, to him it has become unclean.

14:15   For if because of food you hurt your brother, you no longer walk according to love Do not destroy with your food him for whom Christ died.

14:16  Therefore do not let what you consider a good thing gain the reputation as evil;

14:17   for the kingdom of God does not consist of eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

14:18   For he who in this way serves Christ has made himself acceptable to God and approved by men.

14:19  So then we pursue the things which make for peace and the building up of one another.

14:20   Do not tear down the work of God for the sake of food All things indeed have become clean, but they become evil for the man who eats and gives offense.

14:21   It shows good sense not to eat meat or to drink wine, or to do anything by which your brother stumbles.

14:22  The faith which you have, have as your own conviction before God. Happy dwells he who does not condemn himself in what he approves.

14:23   But he who doubts condemns himself if he eats, because his eating does not come from faith; and whatever does not from faith leads to sin.
