et us put on the
armor of light. (13)Let us walk becomingly, as in the day; not in
reveling and drunkenness, not in lewdness and wantonness, not in
strife and envying; (14)but put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not
provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.

HIM that is weak in faith receive; not for the decision of disputes.
(2)For one believes, that he may eat all things; but he that is weak
eats herbs. (3)Let not him that eats despise him that eats not; and
let not him that eats not judge him that eats; for God received him.
(4)Who art thou that judgest another's servant? To his own master he
stands or falls. But he shall be made to stand; for God is able to
make him stand.
(5)One man esteems one day above another; another esteems every day
alike. Let each one be fully persuaded in his own mind. (6)He that
regards the day, regards it to the Lord; and he that eats, eats to the
Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he that eats not, to the Lord he

each one of us shall give account of himself to God.
(13)Let us therefore no longer judge one another; but judge this
rather, not to put a stumbling-block, or an occasion to fall, in a
brother's way. (14)I know, and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that
nothing is unclean of itself; but to him that accounts anything to be
unclean, to him it is unclean. (15)But if because of food thy brother
is grieved, thou no longer walkest in accordance with love. Destroy
not him by thy food, for whom Christ died. (16)Let not then your good
be evil spoken of. (17)For the kingdom of God is not food and drink;
but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit. (18)For he
that in these things serves Christ, is well pleasing to God, and
