‏ Romans 14:1-12

Principles of Conscience

1 Now aaccept the one who is bweak
Or in the faith
in faith, but not
Lit for quarrels
to have quarrels over opinions.
2 eOne person has faith that he may eat all things, but the one who is fweak eats only vegetables. 3The one who eats is not to gregard with contempt the one who does not eat, and the one who does not eat is not to hjudge the one who eats, for God has iaccepted him. 4 jWho 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 mOne person
Lit judges
values one day over another, another
Lit judges
values every day the same. Each person must be pfully convinced in his own mind.
6The one who observes the day, observes it for the Lord, and the one who eats,
Lit eats
does so with regard to the Lord, for he rgives thanks to God; and the one who does not eat, it is for the Lord that he does not eat, and he gives thanks to God.
7For not one of us slives for himself, and not one dies for himself; 8for if we live, we live for the Lord, or if we die, we die for the Lord; therefore twhether we live or die, we are the Lord’s. 9For to this end uChrist died and lived again, that He might be vLord both of the dead and of the living.

10 But as for you, why do you judge your brother or sister? Or you as well, why do you wregard your brother or sister with contempt? For xwe will all appear before the judgment seat of God. 11For it is written:
yAs I live, says the Lord, zto Me every knee will bow,
And every tongue will
Or confess
give praise to God.”

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