The Law of Liberty
14Verse 1Accept him whose faith is weak, without passing judgment on his opinions.+Verse 2For one person has faith to eat all things, while another, who is weak, eats only vegetables.Verse 3The one who eats everything must not belittle the one who does not, and the one who does not eat everything must not judge the one who does, for God has accepted him.Verse 4Who are you to judge someone else’s servant? To his own master he stands or falls. And he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand.Verse 5One person regards a certain day above the others, while someone else considers every day alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind.Verse 6He who observes a special day does so to the Lord;+he who eats does so to the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he who abstains does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God.Verse 7For none of us lives to himself alone, and none of us dies to himself alone.Verse 8If we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.Verse 9For this reason Christ died and returned to life, that He might be the Lord of both the dead and the living.Verse 10Why, then, do you judge your brother? Or why do you belittle your brother? For we will all stand before God’s judgment seat.Verse 11It is written:“As surely as I live,says the Lord,every knee will bow before Me;every tongue will confess to God.”+Verse 12So then, each of us will give an account of himself to God.
