1
Receive the one weak in faithfulness, but not for judgments over reasonings.
2
One trusts that he may eat everything; but the one who is weak eats vegetables.
3
Let the one eating not despise the one not eating, and let the one not eating not judge the one eating, for Elohim received him.
4
Who are you who judges another’s household servant? Before his own master he stands or falls. And he will be made to stand, for the Master is able to make him stand.
5
One person judges one day above another; another judges every day alike. Let each be fully persuaded in his own mind.
6
The one observing the day observes it to the Master. The one eating eats to the Master, for he gives thanks to Elohim; and the one not eating abstains to the Master and gives thanks to Elohim.
7
For none of us lives to himself, and none dies to himself.
8
For if we live, we live to the Master; and if we die, we die to the Master. Therefore whether we live or die, we belong to the Master.
9
For to this end the Mashiyach died and lived, so that he might exercise mastery over both dead and living.
10
But you—why do you judge your brother or sister? Or you—why do you despise your brother or sister? For we will all stand before Elohim’s judgment seat.
11
For it is written: “As I live, says Yahuah, every knee will bow to me and every tongue will confess to Elohim.”
12
Therefore each of us will give an account concerning himself to Elohim.
13
Therefore let us no longer judge one another. Instead, judge this: not to place a stumbling block or snare before a brother or sister.
14
I know and am persuaded in the Master Yahushua that nothing is unclean through itself; but to the one calculating something unclean, to that one it is unclean.
15
For if your brother or sister is grieved because of food, you are no longer walking according to love. Do not destroy by your food the one for whom the Mashiyach died.
16
Therefore do not let your good be blasphemed.
17
For Elohim’s kingdom is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Set-Apart Spirit.
18
For the one serving the Mashiyach in this is acceptable to Elohim and approved by human beings.
19
Therefore let us pursue the things of peace and the things that build up one another.
20
Do not tear down Elohim’s work because of food. All things indeed are clean, but it is evil for the human being who eats through stumbling.
21
It is good not to eat flesh or drink wine or do anything by which your brother or sister stumbles.
22
The faithfulness you have, hold for yourself before Elohim. Blessed is the one who does not judge himself in what he approves.
23
But the one who doubts is condemned if he eats, because it is not from faithfulness; and everything not from faithfulness is sin.
