Romans 14:4-20

⁴What arte thou that iudgest another manes servaut? Whether he stonde or faule that pertayneth vnto his master: ye he shall stonde. For God is able to make him stonde.

⁵This man putteth difference bitwene daye and daye. Another man counteth all dayes alyke. Se that no man waver in his awne meanynge.

⁶He that observeth one daye more then another doth it for the lordes pleasure. And he that observeth not one daye moare then another doeth it to please the lorde also. He that eateth doth it to please the lorde for he geveth god thankes. And he that eateth not eateth not to please the lorde with all and geveth god thankes.

⁷For none of vs lyveth his awne servaut: nether doeth anye of vs dye his awne servaunt.

⁸Yf we lyve we lyve to be at the lordes will. And yf we dye we dye at the lordes will. Whether we lyve therfore or dye we are the lordes.

⁹For Christ therfore dyed and rose agayne and revived that he myght be lorde both of deed and quicke.

¹⁰But why doest thou then iudge thy brother? Other why doest thou despyse thy brother? We shall all be brought before the iudgement seate of Christ.

¹¹For it is written: as truely as I lyve sayth the lorde all knees shall bowe to me and all tonges shall geve a knowledge to God.

¹²So shall every one of vs geve accomptes of him selfe to God.

¹³Let vs not therfore iudge one another eny more. But iudge this rather that no man put a stomblynge blocke or an occasion to faule in his brothers waye.

¹⁴For I knowe and am full certified in the Lorde Iesus that ther is nothinge comen of it selfe: but vnto him that iudgeth it to be comen: to him is it comen.

¹⁵If thy brother be greved with thy meate now walkest thou not charitablye. Destroye not him with thy meate for whom Christ dyed.

¹⁶Cause not youre treasure to be evyll spoken of.

¹⁷For the kyngdome of God is not meate and drinke: but rightewesnes peace and ioye in the holy goost.

¹⁸For whosoever in these thinges serveth Christ pleaseth well God and is commended of men.

¹⁹Let vs folowe tho thinges which make for peace and thinges wherwith one maye edyfie another.

²⁰Destroye not the worke of god for a lytell meates sake. All thinges are pure: but it is evyll for that man which eateth with hurte of his conscience.
