Romans - Chapter 14 | King James Version (KJV)

  • 1. Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, {cf15I but} not to doubtful disputations.
  • 2. For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.
  • 3. Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.
  • 4. Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.
  • 5. One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day {cf15I alike}. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
  • 6. He that regardeth the day, regardeth {cf15I it} unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard {cf15I it}. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.
  • 7. For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.
  • 8. For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.
  • 9. For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.
  • 10. But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
  • 11. For it is written, {cf15I As} I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
  • 12. So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
  • 13. Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in {cf15I his} brother's way.
  • 14. I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that {cf15I there is} nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him {cf15I it is} unclean.
  • 15. But if thy brother be grieved with {cf15I thy} meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died.
  • 16. Let not then your good be evil spoken of:
  • 17. For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
  • 18. For he that in these things serveth Christ {cf15I is} acceptable to God, and approved of men.
  • 19. Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.
  • 20. For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed {cf15I are} pure; but {cf15I it is} evil for that man who eateth with offence.
  • 21. {cf15I It is} good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor {cf15I any thing} whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.
  • 22. Hast thou faith? have {cf15I it} to thyself before God. Happy {cf15I is} he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.
  • 23. And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because {cf15I he eateth} not of faith: for whatsoever {cf15I is} not of faith is sin.
