Romans 14:1-13 Page 966 in Pew Bibles 1.Accept anyone who is weak in faith, but don’t argue about doubtful issues. 2.One person believes he may eat anything, but one who is weak eats only vegetables.

3.One who eats must not look down on one who does not eat; and one who does not eat must not criticize one who does, because God has accepted him. 4.Who are you to criticize another’s household slave? Before his own Lord he stands or falls. And stand he will! For the Lord is able to make him stand.

5.One person considers one day to be above another day. Someone else considers every day to be the same. Each one must be fully convinced in his own mind. 6.Whoever observes the day, observes it to the Lord. Whoever eats, eats to the Lord, since he gives thanks to God; and whoever does not eat, it is to the Lord that he does not eat, yet he thanks God.

7.For none of us lives to himself, and no one dies to himself. 8.If we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord. 9.Christ died and came to life for this: that He might rule over both the dead and the living.

10. But you, why do you criticize your brother? Or you, why do you look down on your brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God. 11. For it is written: As I live, says the Lord, every knee will bow to Me, and every tongue will give praise to God.

12. So then, each of us will give an account of himself to God. 13. Therefore, let us no longer criticize one another…
