 im that is weake in the faith receiue you, but not to doubtfull disputations. |
 |
| 14:2 |
For one beleeueth that he may eat all things: another who is weake, eateth herbes. |
|
| 14:3 |

|
| 14:6 |
He that regardeth a day, regardeth it vnto the Lord; and hee that regardeth not the day, to the Lord hee doeth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for hee giueth God thankes: and hee that eateth not, to the Lord hee eateth not, and giueth God thankes. |
|
| 14:7 |
For none of vs liueth to himselfe, and no man dieth to himselfe. |

|
| 14:12 |
So then euery one of vs shall giue accompt of himselfe to God. |
|
| 14:13 |
Let vs not therefore iudge one another any more: but iudge this rather, that no man put a stumbling blocke, or an occasion to fall in his brothers way. |
|
| 14:14 |
I know, and am perswaded by the Lord Iesus, that there is nothing vncleane of it selfe: but to him that esteemeth any thing to bee vncleane, to him it is vncleane. |
|
| 14:15 |
But if thy brother be grieued with thy meate: now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died. |
|
| 14:16 |
Let not then your good be euill spoken of. |
|

|
| 14:22 |
Hast thou faith? haue it to thy selfe before God. Happie is he that condemneth not himselfe in that thing which hee alloweth. |
|
| 14:23 |
And hee that doubteth, is damned if hee eate, because hee eateth not of faith: For whatsoeuer is not of faith, is sinne. |
