2One person's faith permits of their eating food of all kinds, while another whose faith is weak eats only vegetable food.
3The person who eats meat must not despise the person who abstains from it; nor must the person who abstains from eating meat pass judgement on the one who eats it, for God himself has received them.
4Who are you, that you should pass judgement on the servant of another? Their standing or falling concerns their own master. And stand they will, for their Master can enable them to stand.
5Again, one person considers some days to be more sacred than others, while another considers all days to be alike. Everyone ought to be fully convinced in their own mind.
6The person who observes a day, observes it to the Master's honour. They, again, who eat meat eat it to the Master's honour, for they give thanks to God; while the person who abstains from it abstains from it to the Master's honour, and also gives thanks to God.
7There is not one of us whose life concerns ourselves alone, and not one of us whose death concerns ourself alone;
8for, if we live, our life is for the Master, and, if we die, our death is for the Master. Whether, then, we live or die we belong to the Master.
9The purpose for which Christ died and came back to life was this — that he might be Lord over both the dead and the living.
10I would ask the one ‘Why do you judge other followers of the Lord?’ And I would ask the other ‘Why do you despise them?’ For we will all stand before the court of God.
