1. According to God's Receiving
14:1-9
14:1-9
1 1Now him who is aweak in faith 2breceive, but not for the purpose of passing judgment on his 3considerations.
2 One believes that he may eat all things, but he who is weak aeats vegetables.
3 He who eats, let him 1not despise him who does not eat; and he who does not eat, let him 1not judge him who eats, for 2God has received him.
4 Who are you who judge another's household servant? To his own master he stands or falls; and he will be made to stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand.
5 One judges one aday above another; another judges every day alike. Let each be fully bpersuaded in his own mind.
6 He who regards that day, regards it to the Lord; and he who eats, aeats to the Lord, for he gives bthanks to God; and he who does not eat, does not eat to the Lord, and he gives thanks to God.
7 For none of us alives to himself, and none dies to himself;
8 For whether we live, we alive to the Lord, and whether we die, we die to the Lord. Therefore whether we live or we die, we are the bLord's.
9 For Christ adied and lived again for this, that He might be bLord both of the dead and of the living.
