Romans 14:1-10
“Accept the one whose faith is weak, without quarreling over
disputable matters.
2 One person’s faith allows them to eat anything, but another, whose
faith is weak, eats only vegetables.
3 The one who eats everything must not treat with contempt the
one who does not, and the one who does not eat everything must not
judge the one who does, for GOD has accepted them.
4 Who are you to judge someone else’s servant? To their own
master, servants stand or fall. And they will stand, for THE LORD is able to
make them stand.
5 One person considers one day more sacred than
another; another considers every day alike. Each of them should be fully
convinced in their own mind.
6 Whoever regards one day as special does so to THE LORD. Whoever
eats meat does so to THE
LORD, for they give thanks to GOD; and whoever abstains does so to THE LORD and gives thanks
to GOD.
7 For none of us lives for ourselves alone, and none of us dies
for ourselves alone.
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.
9 For this very reason, CHRIST died and returned to life so that HE
might be THE LORD OF
BOTH THE DEAD AND THE LIVING."
