⁴Who art thou that judgest another man’s servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.

⁵One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.

⁶He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.

⁷For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.

⁸For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord’s.

⁹For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.

¹⁰But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.

¹¹For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.

¹²So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.

¹¶ Him that is weake in the faith receiue you, but not to ^‖doubtfull disputations.

²For one beleeueth that he may eat all things: another who is weake, eateth herbes.

³Let not him that eateth, despise him that eateth not: and let not him which eateth not, iudge him that eateth. For God hath receiued him.

⁴Who art thou that iudgest an other mans seruant? to his owne master he standeth or falleth; Yea he shall bee holden vp: for God is able to make him stand.

⁵One man esteemeth one day aboue another: another esteemeth euery day alike. Let euery man bee ^‖fully perswaded in his owne minde.

⁶He 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.

⁷For none of vs liueth to himselfe, and no man dieth to himselfe.

⁸For whether we liue, we liue vnto the Lord: and whether wee die, we die vnto the Lord: whether wee liue therefore or die, we are the Lords.

⁹For to this ende Christ both died, and rose, and reuiued, that hee might be Lord both of the dead and liuing.

¹⁰But why doest ^*thou iudge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? wee shall all stand before the Iudgement seat of Christ.

¹¹For it is written, ^* As I liue, saith the Lord, euery knee shall bow to mee, and euery tongue shall confesse to God.

¹²So then euery one of vs shall giue accompt of himselfe to God.
