The Law of Liberty

1 Receivea one who is weak in the faith, but not to disputes over doubtful things.  
2 For one believes he amay eat all things, but he who is weak eats only vegetables.  
3 Let not him who eats despise him who does not eat, and alet not him who does not eat judge him who eats; for God has received him.  
4 aWho are you to judge another’s servant? To his own master he stands or falls. Indeed, he will be made to stand, for God is able to make him stand.  
5 aOne person esteems one day above another; another esteems every day alike. Let each be fully convinced in his own mind.  
6 He who aobserves the day, observes it to the Lord;1 and he who does not observe the day, to the Lord he does not observe it. He who eats, eats to the Lord, for bhe gives God thanks; and he who does not eat, to the Lord he does not eat, and gives God thanks.  
7 For anone of us lives to himself, and no one dies to himself.

Romans 14:2

Romans 14:2 For one believeth that he may eat all things. The apostle now names one of those differences of opinion that had made trouble. Differences had risen over food. The flesh of animals offered in idol sacrifices was offered in the markets, and one buying could not always be sure that he did not get it. Others, Jewish Christians, or of Judaizing tendencies, believed it wrong to eat any food forbidden by the law. Another . . . eateth herbs. Perhaps others believed, like the Essenes, that the regenerate man should eat only vegetables, like the primitive race in Eden. Hence, for one or all of these causes, some thought meat ought to be abstained from entirely. Disputes arose over the difference.
