Romans 14:3-9

Christian Standard Bible

³ One who eats must not look down on one who does not eat,^(A) and one who does not eat must not judge one who does,^(B) because God has accepted him.^{(C) 4} Who are you to judge^(D) another’s household servant? Before his own Lord he stands or falls. And he will stand, because the Lord is able^[a] to make him stand.

⁵ One person judges one day to be more important than another day.^(E) Someone else judges every day to be the same. Let each one be fully convinced in his own mind.^{(F) 6} Whoever observes the day, observes it for the honor of the Lord.^[b] Whoever eats, eats for the Lord, since he gives thanks to God;^(G) and whoever does not eat, it is for the Lord that he does not eat it, and he gives thanks to God. ⁷ For none of us lives for himself, and no one dies for himself.^{(H) 8} If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.^{(I) 9} Christ died and returned to life^(J) for this: that he might be Lord over both the dead and the living.^(K)
