³ Let not the one who eats despise the one who abstains, and ^(A)let not the one who abstains pass judgment on the one who eats, for God has welcomed him. ^4 (B)Who are you to pass judgment on the servant of another? It is before his own master^[a] that he stands or falls. And he will be upheld, for the Lord is able to make him stand.

^5 (C)One person esteems one day as better than another, while another esteems all days alike. ^(D)Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind. ⁶ The one who observes the day, observes it in honor of the Lord. The one who eats, eats in honor of the Lord, since ^(E)he gives thanks to God, while the one who abstains, abstains in honor of the Lord and gives thanks to God.

¹² So then ^(A)each of us will give an account of himself to God.
