Romans 14:1-12

1 Now ^aaccept the one who is ^bweak in faith, but not for the purpose of passing judgment on his opinions. 2 ^cOne person has faith that he may eat all things, but he who is ^dweak eats vegetables only. 3 The one who eats is not to ^eregard with contempt the one who does not eat, and the one who does not eat is not to ^fjudge the one who eats, for God has ^gaccepted him. 4 ^hWho are you to judge the ^{▼▼ Or house-servant}servant of another? To his own ^{▼▼ Lit lord}master he stands or falls; and he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand.

5 ^kOne person ^{▼▼ Lit judges}regards one day above another, another regards every day alike. Each person must be ^mfully convinced in his own mind. 6 He who observes the day, observes it for the Lord, and he who eats, ^{▼▼ Lit eats}does so for the Lord, for he ^ogives thanks to God; and he who eats not, for the Lord he does not eat, and gives thanks to God. 7 For not one of us ^plives for himself, and not one dies for himself; 8 for if we live, we live for the Lord, or if we die, we die for the Lord; therefore ^qwhether we live or die, we are the Lord’s. 9 For to this end ^rChrist died and lived again, that He might be ^sLord both of the dead and of the living.

10 But you, why do you judge your brother? Or you again, why do you ^tregard your brother with contempt? For ^uwe will all stand before the judgment seat of God. 11 For it is written, ^v“As I live, says the Lord, ^w every knee shall bow to Me,
And every tongue shall ^{▼▼ Or confess} give praise to God.”

12 So then ^yeach one of us will give an account of himself to God.
