Romans 14:8-19

⁸For whether wee liue, we liue vnto the Lord: or whether we die, we die vnto the Lord: whether we liue therefore, or die, we are the Lords.

⁹For Christ therefore died and rose againe, and reuiued, that he might be Lord both of the dead and the quicke.

¹⁰But why doest thou condemne thy brother? or why doest thou despise thy brother? for we shall all appeare before the iudgement seate of Christ.

¹¹For it is written, I liue, sayth the Lord, and euery knee shall bowe to me, and all tongues shall confesse vnto God.

¹²So then euery one of vs shall giue accounts of himselfe to God.

¹³Let vs not therefore iudge one another any more: but vse your iudgement rather in this, that no man put an occasion to fall, or a stumbling blocke before his brother.

¹⁴I know, and am perswaded through the Lord Iesus, that there is nothing vncleane of it selfe: but vnto him that iudgeth any thing to be vncleane, to him it is vncleane.

¹⁵But if thy brother be grieued for the meate, nowe walkest thou not charitably: destroy not him with thy meate, for whome Christ dyed.

¹⁶Cause not your commoditie to be euill spoken of.

¹⁷For the kingdome of God, is not meate nor drinke, but righteousnes, and peace, and ioye in the holy Ghost.

¹⁸For whosoeuer in these things serueth Christ, is acceptable vnto God, and is approoued of men.

¹⁹Let vs then follow those things which concerne peace, and wherewith one may edifie another.
